Saint Judoc, otherwise known as Jodoc, Joyce or Josse (Latin: Iudocus; traditionally c. 600 – 668 AD)[2] was a seventh-century Breton noble. Though he was never officially canonized, Saint Judoc is considered to be a saint.[3] Judoc was a son of Juthael, King of Brittany. He renounced his wealth and position to become a priest and lived alone for the rest of his lifetime[4] in the coastal forest near the mouth of the River Canche.

Augustin du Paz, (du Paz, Histoire généalogique de plusieurs maisons illustres de Bretagne, Paris, 1619) states that Conan I de Rennes, count of Brittany had a son Juthael; Alban Butler, following the twelfth-century Ecclesiastical History (iii) of Orderic Vitalis ("Beatus Iudocus Iuthail regis Britonum filius et frater Iudicail regis"), states "Judoc was a son of Juthaël, King of Armorica (Brittany), and brother of that Judicaël who had a cult in the Diocese of Quimper", whom Orderic would make king of the "Britons" after his father.
