Saint Falco sometimes: Falco of Maastricht or of Tongeren (died 512) was according to tradition bishop of Maastricht from 495 until 512. He is also venerated as a Roman Catholic saint. In Medieval hagiography he is hardly noted. Yet Falco is the first bishop of Maastricht after Servatius who is securly documented. He is mentioned in an undated letter sent by Saint Remigius in which Remigius complains about Falco usurping certain rights in Mouzon.
