Volusianus of Tours was a 5th-century Catholic priest who served as the seventh Bishop of Tours between 491 and 498. Born into a wealthy and devout senatorial family, he was closely related to both Ruricius of Limoges and his predecessor, Perpetuus. During his tenure, he was removed from his position by the Visigoths and sent into exile in Toulouse, where he potentially faced martyrdom.
