The Corpus mensurabilis musicae (CMM) is a printed collection of sacred and secular vocal music of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance in European musical history, with a special focus on the Franco-Flemish and Italian repertoire.

The CMM is a publication of the American Institute of Musicology and has now consisted of over 100 volumes since the first edition in 1947. Famous composers whose work has been published in other series, such as Josquin Desprez , Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Orlando di Lasso, are usually not included in the series.

Similar publications by the AIM are the Corpus of Early Keyboard Music (CEKM), the Corpus scriptorum de musica (CSM) on early writings by music theorists, and Musica Disciplina (MD) on current scientific publications on early music .
