Saint Gal of Clermont (also Gall) (c. 489 – c. 553) was the sixteenth Bishop of Clermont holding that see from 527 to 551. This bishop of Clermont shares a name with a later bishop of the diocese who though less illustrious than the first Gal is also revered as a saint. Gal played important role in the politics of the Church as the Council of Clermont (535) was hosted under his episcopate.
