Epifanio wa Pavia (438-496) alikuwa askofu wa mji huo (Italia) kuanzia mwaka 466 hadi kifo chake. Pamoja na kuongoza vizuri jimbo lake, alifanya kazi ya mpatanishi wakati wa vurugu kubwa zilizosababishwa na uvamizi wa makabila ya Wagermanik nchini Italia. Tangu kale anaheshimiwa na Wakatoliki na Waorthodoksi kama mtakatifu. Sikukuu yake ni 21 Januari.
