Saint Titian of Oderzo (Italian: San Tiziano di Oderzo) was a 7th-century bishop of Opitergium (Oderzo), in the Province of Treviso.[1]

Titian was born to a noble family of Eraclea (Grisolera) in the Veneto region,[1] and served as a deacon and priest to Florian (Florianus), bishop of Opitergium (Oderzo).[1] Titian devoted himself to serving the poor, and when Florian stepped down from his episcopal office to work as a missionary, Titian was declared his successor.[1] Titian devoted himself to his diocese, and was an opponent of Arianism.[1] Titian died in 632, traditionally on January 16, and was buried in the cathedral of Oderzo.
