Rémi Gaulin (30 June 1787 – 8 May 1857) was a Roman Catholic priest and bishop who spent time in the service of Bishop Joseph-Octave Plessis. Plessis ordained Gaulin in 1811 and was appointed curate to Alexander MacDonell in Upper Canada.

In 1833, Gaulin was consecrated as a bishop and made coadjutor to MacDonell with the right of succession. Gaulin became the bishop in the diocese of Kingston in 1840 when MacDonell died.
