Saint Lupicinus (c. 486) (also known as Lupicinus of Condat) was an Abbot. His brother was Saint Romanus of Condat.[1] St. Lupicinus is noted for founding the abbeys of Saint-Claude in the Jura mountains and in the Lauconne districts of France. His feast day is March 21.

This Saint Lupicinus is not to be confused with Saint Lupicinus of Lipidiaco (Gaul) (died 500).
