Saint Senoch (; ) was a
Taifal abbot and
saint, venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church. He was born in
Tiffauges, in
Poitou. He founded a
monastery in 536, serving as abbot. They established themselves at a place now called
Saint-Senoch, which was the site of some
ancient Rome. St. Senoch was famous for his acts of austerity, such as enclosing himself within a four-foot space so narrow that he couldn't move the lower half of his body. This won him the undying love of a vast populace.
Senoch knew both Eufronius, Bishop of Tours, and his successor, Saint Gregory of Tours.
