Aymard of Cluny was a 10th-century Benedictine monk who served as the third abbot of the Cluny monastery in France. Following the death of Odo, the monks chose Aymard to lead the community, reportedly inspired by a symbolic sight of him arriving at the monastery with a horse carrying fish. During his leadership, he focused on the practical administration of monastic assets and expanded the abbey's jurisdiction to include two additional monasteries. He is recognized as a blessed in the Catholic Church.
