Judicael of Rennes (died in battle 888), was count of Rennes and duke of Brittany, from 877 to his death. He became ruler of Brittany after the death of his father Gurvand and his rival in Brittany, Pasquitan of Vannes. His accession was disputed with Alan of Vannes, brother of Pasquitan.

He reconciled with him to fight the Vikings, however. Together with Alan of Vannes he defeated at the Battle of Questembert in 888 but lost his life in the fighting.
