Saint Ursicinus (Hursannus, Ursitz, Oschanne) (d. 625 AD) was an Irish missionary to present-day Switzerland. A friend and disciple of Saint Columbanus at the monastery of Luxeuil, he accompanied his master into exile around 610 after Columbanus was banished from Burgundy.

Ursicinus founded a monastery at the place named after him: Saint Ursanne. He preached amongst the local Alamanni.
