Bernard Due Van Vo was a Vietnamese Catholic priest and missionary who lived from 1755 to 1838. After converting to the Catholic faith, he spent several decades serving as a missionary within his home country. His religious activities eventually led to his arrest in Tonkin. Despite being over eighty years old, which should have protected him under the local laws of the time, he was executed by beheading in 1838.
