'''Guilhem Rainol d'At''' (also ''Guillem''; fl. 1209) was a minor [[Provence|Provençal]] [[troubadour]] from [[Apt, Vaucluse|Apt]] in the [[Vaucluse]].

Guilhem Rainol was probably the ''Guilelmus Ranoli'' who witnessed a document of [[Alfonso II of Provence]] in 1209. In the north Italian troubadour manuscript ''D'' (1254, now in the [[Biblioteca Estense]], [[Modena]]), the poem ''A tornar m'er enquer al primer us'' is assigned to ''Guillems Rauols'', probably an orthographic error for Guilhem Rainol. Elsewhere this same work is ascribed to [[Tomier and Palaizi]], [[Bertran de Born]], or [[Bertran de Born lo Filhs|Bertran lo Filhs]].

Little to nothing is known of Guilhem's life. In a ''[[tenso]]'' with [[Guilhem Magret]], his interlocutor alludes to his having left the religious life. Guilhem's own works hint at a religious inclination. In the ''[[sirventes]]'' ''L'aissatz m'era de chantar'' he attacks the rich, whom he portrays as humbled by the clerics. His most interesting works, however, give insight into his personality and his home life: his light songs ''Quant aug chantar lo gal sus en l'erbos'' and ''Auzir cugei lo chant e.l crit el glat'' were ''tensos'' he made up between him and his wife.
