Felix of Burgundy was a 7th-century bishop who served as the first prelate for the East Angles. Originally from the Frankish kingdom of Burgundy, he was sent to the region around 630 by Archbishop Honorius of Canterbury to assist King Sigeberht. He is credited with introducing the Christian faith to the East Anglian people and establishing a school for teaching literacy. He held his episcopal see at Dommoc for seventeen years before his death in 647 or 648.
