Saint Bononio or Bononius (d. August 30, 1026) was an abbot and saint of the Catholic Church. A native of Bologna, he settled in Cairo in order to become a hermit. Here he assisted the local population build a few Christian churches. When Peter, bishop of Vercelli, was captured by Arab forces after the Battle of Stilo, Bononio assisted in the bishop's release. Bononio returned to Italy after spending some time in the Sinai as a hermit, and was named by Peter abbot of the monastery of Lucedio. At Lucedio, he restored discipline amongst the monks and provided for the surrounding population.
