Andeolus or Andéol is an alleged Christian missionary martyred in Gaul.
==Narrative== Andeolus was reportedly born in Smyrna in the 2nd century. A deacon, he was sent by Polycarp, along with Benignus, to evangelize southern Gaul. According to The Passio of Saint Benignus, they were shipwrecked on Corsica but managed to make their way to Marseilles. From there they travelled up the Rhone River and the Saône, reaching Autun, they converted Symphorianus, son of the noble Faustus. Symphorianus was later martyred for his faith as Saint Symphorian. Andeolus then went to the Vivarais.
