Saints Epiphanius and Isidore are two early martyrs venerated in the cathedral of Besançon in France until the French Revolution. Our sources do not say when they lived and preserve no story of their martyrdom.

They are commemorated on 4 August as saints of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
