Saint John Gabriel Perboyre, C.M. (French: Jean-Gabriel Perboyre †1840), was a French priest, who served as a missionary in China, where he became a martyr. After the then-obligatory waiting period of 50 years after death for seeking a person's canonization had expired, a cause for him was introduced to the Holy See. He was beatified by Pope Leo XIII in 1889, and later canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1996. In the meantime, his remains were returned from China to France, where they were entombed for veneration in the chapel of the Vincentian Motherhouse in Paris.
