Saint Prosper of Reggio (†c. 466) is an Italian saint who was a bishop of Reggio Emilia for twenty-two years. Remembered for his sense of charity, he is the patron saint of Reggio Emilia, although its cathedral is not dedicated to him. Instead, the church of San Prospero, which Prosper himself had built and dedicated to Saint Apollinaris, commemorates his episcopate.
