Amabilis of Riom was a 5th-century Gallo-Roman presbyter who lived in the region of Auvergne. After being brought to Clermont by Sidonius Apollinaris, he occupied several ecclesiastical roles, including serving as a cantor at the church of Saint Mary and as a precentor at the cathedral. Later in his life, he acted as a parish priest in Riom. Known for his holiness during his lifetime, he is a distinct figure from the Anglo-Saxon saint of the same name who lived in the 7th century.
