Saint Folcwin or Folcuin (; Old Dutch: *Folkwin; French: Folquin) (d. 14 or 15 December 855) was a Frankish abbot, cleric, and Bishop of Thérouanne (appointed 816).
==Biography== Folcwin was born to Hieronymus, son of Charles Martel, and his wife Ercheswinda (Ermentrudis). He was appointed bishop of Thérouanne in 816 and confirmed by Louis the Pious; he was consecrated in 817 by the Archbishop of Reims, likely Ebbo. He seems to have remained loyal to Louis. Folcwin participated regularly in synods, including the synods of Ingelheim am Rhein (840), Paris (846/7), Quierzy (849), and Soissons (853). Charles the Bald appointed him as Missus dominicus for one of the twelve West-Frankish missatica, one which apparently overlapped mostly with his diocese.
