Pierre Dumage or du Mage (ca. 1674-1751) was a french organist of the baroque.
He was born in Beauvais, the son of the cathedral's organist who most probably was his first music teacher. Aged 20 years, he settled in Paris and studied under Louis Marchand. There he also met Nicolas Lebègue. At the age of 30 he was appointed organist in Saint Quentin and soon afterwards, is chosen as titular organist of Laon's cathedral. His relations are rather bad with the cathedral chapter, so he leaved the charge and even teh career of organist in 1719. He worked in the royal administration and played nor composed any music until his death.
His output is only one organ book, with eight pieces in the 1st church tune which are considered a masterpiece.
