For the fourteenth-century composer, see P. des Molins.

Pierre de Molins or Molaines (fl. 1190–1220) was an early

Chastelain de Couci, two of the first-generation trouvères. He was probably a member of a landed family of Épernay, or possibly of a family resident in and around Noyon
. He is probably the local "Pierre II" referred to in documents from between 1210 and 1224.

Four songs are attributed to Pierre in the

Virgin Mary, Douce dame, vierge Marie. The music of Chanter me fet was used in two different readings of Pour la pucele en chantant me deport by Gautier de Coincy
and the lyrics were a model for the anonymous Destroiz d'amours et pensis sans deport. The other pieces attributed to Pierre are Quant foillissent li boscage and Tant sai d'amours con cil qui plus l'emprent.
