The Brigantii (Gaulish: Brigantioi, 'the eminent, high ones') were a Gallic tribe who lived southeast of Lake Constance (Lacus Brigantinus), in the area of present-day Bregenz (Brigantion), in Austria's state of Vorarlberg, during the Roman era.
== Name == They are mentioned as Brigántioi (Βριγάντιοι) by Strabo (early 1st c. AD). An identification with the Brixentes, a tribe listed on the Tropaeum Alpium, has been proposed by Ernst Meyer.
