Gall of Clermont was a sixth-century bishop who led the diocese of Clermont from 527 to 551. Born around 489 to a senatorial family in Auvergne, he rejected a marriage to a noblewoman to pursue a life of religious poverty in a monastery. After serving as a priest, he succeeded Quintianus as the sixteenth bishop of his see. He was a notable figure in ecclesiastical politics, most famously hosting the Council of Clermont in 535 and participating in several councils in Orléans.
