Emebert was an early 8th-century bishop of Cambrai, located in northern France. Often identified with Bishop Ablebert or Hildebert, he may have served as a missionary bishop, spreading Christianity within his native Brabant. Historical accounts, such as the *Vita S. Amalbergae viduae*, suggest he was the son of Duke Witger and Saint Amalberga of Maubeuge, making him a brother to several other saints. He died in 710 and is remembered for his religious leadership during this period.
