Felician of Foligno was a third-century Christian bishop and martyr who served the community in Foligno. Born around 160 in Forum Flaminii, he studied under Pope Eleuterus before spreading his faith throughout several Italian cities, including Assisi and Spoleto. He was appointed bishop of Foligno by Pope Victor I, becoming one of the earliest bishops in northern Italy to receive the pallium. His long episcopate ended when he was arrested during the persecutions of Decius for refusing to worship Roman deities.
