The '''''pastorela''''' ({{IPA|pro|pastuˈɾɛla|label=Old Occitan:}}, "little/young shepherdess") was an [Occitan](/source/Old_Occitan) [lyric](/source/Lyric_poetry) [genre](/source/genre) used by the [troubadour](/source/troubadour)s. It gave rise to the [Old French](/source/Old_French) ''[pastourelle](/source/pastourelle)''. The central topic was always the meeting of a knight with a shepherdess, which could lead to any of a number of possible conclusions. They were usually humorous pieces. The genre was allegedly invented by [Cercamon](/source/Cercamon), whose examples do not survive, and was most famously taken up by his (alleged) pupil [Marcabru](/source/Marcabru).

==Table of ''pastorelas''==
Only a few pastorelas have survived; Audiau counts 24 "true" Old Occitan examples, mentioning 10 others which resemble them but belong to other genres and one which is a translation from French.<ref>{{cite book|last=Audiau|first=Jean|title=La pastourelle dans la poésie occitane du Moyen Âge|year=1923|publisher=E.
