Desiderius of Vienne was a 7th-century archbishop and chronicler who served in the region of Vienne. Born in Autun, he became known for his intellectual pursuits, including his interest in pagan classical texts, which drew a rebuke from Pope Gregory the Great regarding the education of his clergy. His political involvement led to a conflict with Brunhilda of Austrasia, resulting in his deposition. He was eventually executed by stoning under the orders of King Theuderic II of Burgundy.
