Saint Perfect of Cordoba, also known as Saint Perfectus, was a 9th-century Christian martyr in Spain. He refused to convert to Islam during the period of Muslim rule. His unwavering Christian faith led to his execution by beheading in 850 in Cordoba. His resistance to renouncing his faith makes him an example of religious dedication and martyrdom for the Christian faith in medieval Spain. His memory is venerated in the Catholic Church and he is commemorated on April 18.
