Mesmin (Maximin, Maximinus) (died AD) is a French saint associated with the Bishopric of Orléans. He was the second abbot of Micy Abbey, founded by his uncle, Euspicius.
==Life== Mesmin was the nephew of Euspicius, archpriest of Verdun. When the city was under siege, Euspicius went to Clovis I and asked clemency for the rebels. The king was so impressed, he took an interest in Euspicius and Mesmin's activities. In 508, Euspicius was looking for a place of retreat and found an unoccupied royal villa called Micy near Orléans, at the confluence of the Loire and Loiret rivers. He received the domain of Micy from Clovis in order to establish a monastery there.
