Vincent Contenson (born at Altivillare (Gers), Diocese of Condon, 1641; died Creil-sur-Oise, 26 December 1674) was a French Dominican theologian and preacher.

He was seventeen years old when he entered the Order of Preachers. He taught philosophy for a time at Albi, followed by theology at Toulouse. Afterwards, he had a brief but popular career as a preacher.

Contenson died in the pulpit at Creil, where he was giving a mission. He was buried there; his epitaph describes him as "in years a youth, mature in wisdom and in virtue venerable".
