Saint Rusticus was a 5th-century bishop who led the see of Lyon from 494 until his death in 501. Born around 455 to a noble family, he was the son of Aquilinus and the brother of Saint Viventiolus. Before his elevation to the episcopacy, he held various positions as a magistrate. He succeeded Lupicinus in his role as archbishop and was known for his charitable actions, including providing financial support to Pope Gelasius I.
