Saint Tigrides is a legendary saint and the equally legendary[1] second Bishop of Gap, France.[2]

Very little is known of his life.[3] He is celebrated locally with a feast day on 3 February, as is noted in the Martyrologicum Hieronymianum.[4] There is no other evidence for Teredius (or Tigrides).
