Blessed Alain de Solminihac (25 November 1593 – 31 December 1659) was a French Roman Catholic religious reformer and served as the Bishop of Cahors. He was an Augustianian regular canon of Chancelade Abbey in Périgueux.[1] He was also a member of the Compagnie du Saint-Sacrement.
He was declared a Servant of God after Pope Pius VI opened his cause for sainthood on 6 August 1783 and Pope Pius XI declared him to be Venerable on 19 June 1927. Pope John Paul II beatified him on 4 October 1981.
