Veranus of Vence was a 5th-century bishop in Gaul and the son of Eucherius of Lyon. Before ascending to the episcopacy, he lived as a monk and received his education at Lérins Abbey under several teachers. Serving as the fourth Bishop of Vence, he held his position from approximately 442 until at least 465. He was tasked by Pope Hilarius to enforce the jurisdictional privileges of the See of Arles by addressing irregular ordinations in Vienne.
