Saint Eugene de Mazenod (August 1, 1782-May 21, 1861) commonly known as Eugene de Mazenod, was the founder of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate and from 1837 on bishop of Marseille, France. During his episcopacy he commissioned Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, an ornate Neo-Byzantine basilica on the south side of the old port of Marseille.

He was beatified on 19 October 1975 by Pope Paul VI, and canonized on 3 December 1995 by Pope John Paul II
