Saint Calocerus () was a 2nd-century Christian martyr. His alleged "acts" belong to a much later period.

==Narrative== He was probably an officer in the Roman army under the Roman emperor Hadrian and was stationed in Brescia in Lombardy, Italy. His life and legend are associated with Saints Faustinus and Jovita, and according to tradition, all three saints were soldiers from Brescia. The constancy of Faustinus and Jovita led to the conversion of Calocerus, who in turn converted Secundus of Asti.
