Saint Juventius (died 8 February 397), sometimes spelled Eventius, Iventius, or Inventius, was a bishop of Pavia during the 4th century, holding the position for 39 years.[1] Together with Syrus of Pavia, he was sent to Pavia by Saint Hermagoras to evangelize the city, founding a bishopric there.[2] Syrus subsequently served as first bishop of Pavia.[1]

Juventius has two feast days, 8 February alone and 12 September together with Syrus.[2]
