Abel of Reims was an 8th-century Benedictine monk and bishop who served as the archbishop of Reims in Francia. Born in either Ireland or England, he became a close associate of the missionary Boniface. During his tenure, he functioned as a suffragan bishop under the influence of lay controllers. He is remembered for his ecclesiastical service and his connection to the missionary efforts of the era, eventually potentially retiring to the Lobbes Abbey where he may have served as abbot.
