Sulpitius I of Bourges was a 6th-century archbishop who served the see of Bourges. Born in Aquitaine around 550, he was a man of noble lineage and a skilled orator known for his poetic talent. Although he is frequently confused with the historian Sulpicius Severus, he was a distinct figure who rose to his ecclesiastical position in 584. His election was notably supported by King Gontran, who refused to accept bribes from other candidates seeking the office.
