Austol (Шаблон:Lang-cy; Шаблон:Lang-la) was a 6th-century Cornish holy man who lived much of his life in Brittany.

He was a friend of Méen, who founded the Saint-Méen Abbey in Brittany. Méen is said to have been his godfather. The parish and town of St Austell in Cornwall is named in his honour. He is regarded as a saint and is honoured with a Breton feast day on 28 June and a Cornish feast day on the Thursday of Whitsun. According to tradition, Austol died within a week after the death of Méen. Before the Reformation, the parishes of St Austell and St Mewan celebrated together because of the friendship between the two saints.[1]
