Marcus Munatius Sulla Urbanus was a Roman empire, Roman Roman senate, senator of the 3rd century. He was Roman consul, consul for the year 234 as the colleague of the future emperor Pupienus. Sulla Urbanus is known entirely from inscriptions, which only attest to his consulate.
While he was always known as the colleague of the later emperor, his name was only known incompletely from a fragment of a ''fasti'' or list of magistrates recovered at Ostia Antica as [Su]lla Urbanus. More recently, two military diplomas have been published which provide his full name as Marcus Munatius Urbanus.

Based on the names, and the time between the consulates, Andreas Krieckhaus raises the possibility that Sulla Urbanus is the son of Marcus Munatius Sulla Cerialis, consul in 215.
[Krieckhaus]
"Vater und Sohn, Bemerkungen zu den severischen consules ordinarii M. Munatius Sulla Cerialis und M. Munatius Sulla Urbanus"
''Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik'', 153 (2005), pp. 283f. Krieckhaus admits that his ''cognomen'' "Sulla" indicates Sulla Urbanus claimed descent from the Roman Republic, Republican dictator Sulla, but has no suggestion how he or his possible father are related to him.
