microformats2 validator
new! Test your microformatted web page with:
- http://pin13.net/ (where it says "Microformats Parser")

- hAtom - "hentry" microformats in particular
Bing Markup Validator
The Bing Markup Validator tests for various microformats support, including hCard, hCalendar, and others. Note: 2012-02-03 launch announcemnt: Bing Webmaster Center blog: Webmaster Tools Markup Validation Tool
Google Structured Data Testing Tool
The Google Structured Data Testing Tool can parse several microformats from a given URL and produces reports showing errors and a preview of what properties it detects. It supports a subset of properties on some microformats, however is continuously updated with more support.
microformats: hCard, hCalendar, hReview, hRecipe, hProduct, rel-author (and indirectly rel-me)
Yandex microformats validator
The Yandex microformats validator parses several microformats from a URL and shows what properties it detects and/or needs.
microformats: hCard, hRecipe, hReview, hProduct
browser microformat readers

- indiewebify.me h-entry validator parses h-entry markup, finds common errors and makes suggestions for things to add, with code samples
Operator Debugger
microformats: hCard, hCalendar
Operator does a good job of compliant parsing for microformats in general, and includes a debug mode that can help identify errors in the structure.
rel-lint
Rel-Lint provides linting and inspection of rel-tag and XFN (by Drew McLellan)
validator project
There has been a suggestion to host an "official" microformats validator at microformats.org.
Ideas:
- hCard validator is open-source (BSD-licensed) and extensible enough to support other microformats (it's mostly a matter of hooking up XSLT templates that extract microformat data and find errors). The codebase is pretty clean, UI is internationalized.

Optimus is a microformats transformer and validator that supports numerous microformats including hCard, hCalendar, hReview, hAtom (note: hAtom validation issues).
Get the Optimus microformats validator favelet. Blog post: validator browser button.
Optimus validator is not working for the moment
Therefore any page you will check through will return the message: "Microformats at this page have no errors. Congratulations." which is a false message. We will update this message when (and if) Optimus will work again.
Please add issues to the optimus-issues page.
