Gohard of Nantes was a 9th-century Catholic bishop and the lord of Blain. Born in Angers, he led the diocese of Nantes during a period of intense conflict involving the Franks, Britons, and Viking raiders. He is remembered as a martyr who lost his life during a Viking attack on the city. According to tradition, he is considered a cephalophore, a type of martyr depicted carrying his own head after being decapitated.
