The Missa cellensis, Hob. XXII:8, fully Missa cellensis fatta per il Signor Liebe de Kreutzner (Zell Mass made for Sir Liebe of Kreutzner) composed in 1782, is Joseph Haydn's eighth setting of the Ordinary of the Mass. The title translates (lit.'Mass for Zell', where "Zell" stands for Mariazell) and is often identified by the German name Mariazeller Messe. It was commissioned by the officer Anton Liebe von Kreutzner on the occasion of his ennoblement.

As well as Haydn's other Missa Cellensis in honorem Beatissimae Virginis Mariae Hob. XXII:5, written in 1766 and also known as Cäcilien-Messe (St. Cecilia Mass), the mass was composed for performance at the Mariazell pilgrimage church in Styria.
