Francesco Gattola (19 September 1822 – 20 January 1899) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest who lived and served in Naples.
He was the founder of the Daughters of the Most Holy Immaculate Virgin of Lourdes.
In 2015 Pope Francis recognized his life of heroic virtue and declared the late priest to be Venerable.
A miracle that is needed for his beatification is now under investigation.
