Lupicinus of Condat (c. 486), also known as Saint Lupicinus, Lupicin of Lauconne or Lupicin of Jura, was an abbot. His brother was Romanus of Condat.[1] Lupicinus is noted for founding abbeys at Saint-Claude in the Jura mountains (later known as Condat Abbey) and in Lauconne (now Saint-Lupicin, where he was buried) of France. His feast day is March 21.[2][3]

Lupicinus is not to be confused with Lupicinus of Lipidiaco (Gaul) (died 500), who is also venerated as a saint.[4]
