Chlodio (also Cloio or Chlogio), was a 5th-century Frankish king who attacked and then apparently ruled Roman-inhabited lands around Cambrai and Tournai, near the modern border of Belgium and France. Very little is known about him, and he is mentioned only briefly in a small number of much later records. He was alive during the period when Aëtius (d. 454) was leader of the Roman military in Gaul.

Chlodio (also Cloio or Chlogio), was a 5th-century Frankish king who attacked and then apparently ruled Roman-inhabited lands around Cambrai and Tournai, near the modern border of Belgium and France.

His conquests reputedly reached as far south as the River Somme. This represented an important turning point, extending Frankish rule more deeply within the Roman Empire, quite distant from the border regions near the Rhine where the Franks had already been established for a long time. Gregory of Tours reported that in his time people believed that the Merovingian dynasty, who ruled a large empire in his time, were descended somehow from Chlodio.
