Saint Pacificus of San Severino was an Italian Franciscan friar and priest. Born in San Severino Marche, he entered religious life and became known for his preaching, penitential spirit, Eucharistic devotion, and generous care for the poor.

Although serious illness limited his ability to walk and preach publicly, Pacificus continued to serve God through prayer, suffering, and spiritual counsel. Pope Gregory XVI canonized him in 1839.
