Saint Austol was a 6th century Cornish holy man who lived for much of his life in Brittany.
He was a companion of Saint Meven in the foundation of the Abbey of Saint-Méen in Brittany. Meven is said to have been his godfather. The parish and village of St Austell in Cornwall is named in his honour. He is regarded as a saint, with a Breton feast day of 28 June and a Cornish one of the thursday of Whitsun.
