Marcel·lí Massana i Bancells (3 October 1918  21 May 1981), also known as Marcelino Massana or by his nom de guerre Panxo, was a Catalan anarchist guerrilla who fought with the maquis against the Francoist dictatorship in Catalonia. He was widely known in Berguedà for his mischievous personality, as he often dressed as a Catholic priest and played pranks on the Civil Guard.
