Agricola of Avignon was a 7th-century bishop who served the city of Avignon in France. Born around 620, he initially entered the Abbey of Lérins as a monk at age sixteen. He later moved to Avignon to assist his father, Saint Magnus, who was also a bishop there. Following his father's death in 660, Agricola succeeded him as the leader of the diocese. He is remembered for his charitable works, his preaching, and his efforts to protect the vulnerable from local authorities.
