Saint Victricius (c. 330 – c. 407 CE) is a bishop of Rouen (393–407), missionary, and author.

His feast day is August 7.

Victricius is the son of a Roman legionnaire, and is in the army himself.

He is flogged and sentenced for execution, but manages to avoid being executed.

He proselytizes amongst the tribes of Flanders, Hainault, and Brabant.
