Valère de Langres was an archdeacon who lived during the early fifth century. During the Vandal invasion of Gaul in 411, he attempted to protect local Christians by leading them toward the Jura mountains. However, his group was intercepted by enemy forces at a location on the Saône River. Following the death of the bishop of Langres, Valère was captured by Vandals under the command of Chrocus, who subsequently executed him by beheading.
