Bivin of Gorze (810/830 – 863) was a Frankish nobleman, regarded as the founder of the Bivinid family. He was married to a daughter of Boso the Elder, who may have been called Richildis. During his life he functioned as lay abbot of the Gorze Abbey. His offspring includes: Richilde of Provence, who married King Charles the Bald Richard the Justiciar, Duke of Burgundy, father of a king of France Boso, King of Provence possibly Bivin, Count of Metz.
