Quinidius (; died 15 February c. 579) was a French hermit, deacon, and bishop, who acquired the reputation of being a saint.
==Life== He was born at Vaison-la-Romaine to a noble Christian family. When his mother was pregnant with Quinidius, she made a pilgrimage to the tomb of Trophimus of Arles, where an angel reportedly appeared to her and prophesied that her son would lead many people to beatitude. As a young man, he became a hermit near Toulon and then at Lérins Abbey to devote himself to a life of prayer and asceticism. For a time, he lived as a hermit near Camps-la-Source.
