Hyacinthe Loyson (known as "Pere Hyacinthe") (born 10 March 1827 in Orleans; died 1912 in Paris), was a controversial Roman Catholic priest, religious figure and author.
In 1869/70 he broke with the Catholic Church - largely over the Vatican Council of 1870, with its doctrine of papal infallibility - and in 1872 married an American heiress, Emilie Jane Butterfield Meriman. Identified as one of the Old Catholics, Loyson continued to write and preach and ultimately (building on a long French tradition) established as a separate church the Gallican Church.
