thumb| Eraclus, alternatively Eraclius or Evraclus, was the 25th bishop of Liège (959–971).

==Life== Educated by Rathier, Eraclus served as the dean of Bonn, before being elected as the bishop of Liège with the support of Bruno of Cologne. He was consecrated on 21 August 959. While bishop he founded two collegiate churches, St Paul's (which later became Liège Cathedral) and St Martin's. He had a particular devotion to Martin of Tours, attributing to that saint a healing he had experienced.
