Landry of Paris was a 7th-century bishop of Paris who served as the chief clerk of the Royal Chancery before his appointment to the episcopacy in 650. He is recognized as a saint within the Catholic and Orthodox traditions. During a significant period of famine, he demonstrated great charity by selling his own belongings and various church items to provide food for the impoverished. He is particularly remembered for establishing a hospital dedicated to Saint Christopher, a site that eventually evolved into the Hôtel-Dieu de Paris.
