Jacques Jean Edmond Georges Gaillot (born 11 September 1935); pronunciation ; generally known in French as Monseigneur Gaillot) is a French Catholic clergyman and social activist.
He was Bishop of Évreux in France from 1982 to 1995.
In 1995, Pope John Paul II removed him as head of his diocese because he publicly expressed controversial and heterodox positions on religious, political and social matters. These views earned him the popular nickname of The Red Cleric.
