Saint Ninnoc or Ninnog of Breton (c. 414 – c. 4 June 467[note 1]), also known as Nenooc, Nennoca, Nennocha, Ninnoc, Ninnocha, and Gwengustle, was an early medieval abbess born in Wales who died in Brittany. The text of Vita Sanctae Ninnocae (The Life of Saint Ninnoc), preserved in the Cartulary of Quimperlé, provides knowledge of her life and work.
