Saint George of Vienne (French: Georges de Vienne) was bishop of Vienne in France in the 7th century.[1] He may previously have been bishop of Agde.[2] His year of death is uncertain: both c. 670[3] and 699[4] have been suggested.

He was canonised in 1251. His feast day is celebrated on 2 November.[5]
