Fructuosus was a 3rd-century Christian bishop of Tarragona in Hispania. During the persecutions led by Emperor Valerian, he was arrested alongside two deacons, Augurius and Eulogius. While being interrogated by the local official Aemilianus, he maintained his faith, leading to his death by fire in the Tarragona amphitheatre in 259. He is recognized as a significant figure in the early history of the Church in the region and is celebrated as a hieromartyr.
