Saint Laud of Coutances, also known as Saint Lô, is a Christian saint.
He was born in Courcy, near Coutances, in the 6th century and became bishop of Coutances around 525. The town of Briovere, associated with the saint, took his name and is now Saint-Lô in Normandy.
As a healing saint, he is invoked for maladies of the eyes and especially blindness. The reputed healing spring at Courcy dedicated to him is a site of pilgrimage.
