Fulk (1164 - 26 October 1229) was an Italian canon regular and prelate who served as the Bishop of Piacenza from 1210 until 1217 and later as the Bishop of Pavia from 1217 until his death. He served in various capacities prior to his episcopal appointment, such as provost of his religious community. He was known for making the effort of keeping out of political affairs since he wanted to dedicate himself more to diocesan affairs.
Appointed bishop of Piacenza in 1210 by Pope Innocent III, Fulk was not consecrated as a bishop until 1216, only to be was transferred and some months after to the Diocese of Pavia, where he would remain until his death in 1229.
