Euphrône (Euphronius) of Autun († after 472) was a bishop of Autun[1] between 450–490AD.
He became bishop in 451 at the latest. We know from Gregory of Tours[2] he had built a church dedicated to Saint Symphorien in Autun. The letters of Sidonius Apollinaris[3] that tell us around the year 470, he accompanied to Chalon-sur-Saone, the bishop of Lyon and other prelates to dedicate a new bishop. Also in 472, Sidonius wrote to him to attend the consecration of the new bishop of Bourges.
Euphronius, composed in 453 a letter now lost, to the Bishop of Angers, Talasius. It is reproduced in the Concilia Antiquae Galliae.[4]
Euphrône was buried in the cemetery of the Abbey of Saint-Symphorien Autun; his name is in the Roman martyrology, for August 3.
