Salvius, Salvi or Sauve (died 584) was a bishop of Albi in Francia between 574 and 584, later venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church.[1] His feast day is 10 September.[2]
He came from a powerful family within the church, which contributed many bishops in the south of France through the end and fall of the Roman Empire. He was a distant relation of Gregory of Tours who wrote his life.[3] He was also a relative of Saint Didier of Cahors.
