Maurice-Marie-Matthieu Garrigou (21 September 1766 – 27 September 1852) was a French Roman Catholic priest who established the Sisters of Our Lady of Compassion. He served in the priesthood during the tumultuous French Revolution.

Pope Francis approved his life of heroic virtue and bestowed upon him the title of Venerable. A miracle attributed to him is now under investigation for his beatification.[1]
