Saint Africus was a 7th-century French Roman Catholic saint about whom very little is known. He was a bishop of Comminges in southern France (Haute-Garonne), celebrated for his zeal for orthodoxy.

His 7th-century shrine was destroyed by Calvinists.[1] His feast day is celebrated November 16. His tomb was in the town of Saint-Affrique.
