Valerius II of Saragossa was a 4th-century bishop who led the diocese of Caesaraugusta (modern-day Zaragoza) starting in 290. A participant in the Council of Elvira, he was known for being a reserved individual with a speech impediment, which led him to ordain Vincent of Saragossa to act as his spokesman. During the persecutions of Diocletian, Valerius faced imprisonment in Valencia and was later exiled to Enetum, near Barbastro, where he died around 315.
