Dominique Lebrun (born 10 January 1957) is a French Roman Catholic prelate. Bishop of Saint-Étienne from 2006 to 2015, he was appointed Archbishop of Rouen and Primate of Normandy in July 2015.
Dominique Julien Claude Marie Lebrun was born in Rouen to Auguste Lebrun, magistrate and Geneviève (née Facque) Lebrun, the last of a family of eight. He spent his early years in Rouen, before his family moved to Villemomble, a town near Paris. Interestingly enough, he was the son of a nun; his mother entered religion after she was widowed, and once her children had completed their curriculums. She took the religious name of Geneviève Marie. Dominique Lebrun served as an official football referee for 13 years.
He studied at Panthéon-Assas University, where he obtained a master's degree in civil law. In 1978, he entered the French seminary in Rome, then went on to study at the Catholic University of Paris. He supported his PhD thesis in theological science in 1990.
Lebrun was ordained priest on 9 June 1984 in the Diocese of Saint-Denis. He was vicar of the parish of Saint-Baudile in Neuilly-sur-Marne from 1985 to 1994. That year, he became priest of the parish of Saint-Germain in Pantin, position he held until 1998.
