Saint Waningus (also Vaneng) (born in Rouen, died c. 683) was a nobleman and royal official under Clotaire III,cite web | last =Rabenstein | first =Katherine | title =Waningus of Fécamp, OSB, Abbot (AC) | work =Saints O' the Day for January 9 |date=March 1999 | url =http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0109.htm#wani | accessdate =2008-01-01] then later a Benedictine abbot and a saint of the Roman Catholic Church.

Waningus had a son, Desiderius, who was also later venerated as a saint.

He founded Fécamp Abbey and is also said to have had a hand, in conjunction with Saint Wandrille, in the foundation of Fontenelle Abbey.
