Tipasi (kwa Kilatini: Typasius; alifariki 11 Januari 304) alikuwa askari kutoka Tigava (leo El Kherba, nchini Algeria)[1].

Baada ya kuingia Ukristo na kuacha maisha ya jeshi, alipoitwa na kaisari Maksimiani kusaidia katika vita dhidi ya wenyeji Quinquegentiani waliotaka kupinga mamlaka ya Dola la Roma, Tipasi alikataa[2].

Baadaye alianzisha monasteri alipoishi muda mrefu. Hatimaye aliitwa tena jeshini na kudaiwa kutoa sadaka kwa miungu ya Roma. Hapo akakatwa kichwa.

Tangu kale anaheshimiwa na Kanisa Katoliki kama mtakatifu.

Sikukuu yake huadhimishwa tarehe ya kifodini chake, 11 Januari[3][4].

  2. As his legend records:
    He was forced into active service again by his praepositus, and along with other vexillarii
    went to battle. But the day before the battle the emperor Maximianus had wished to make a
    donative to the soldiers. That night the angel Gabriel visited most blessed Typasius and
    advised him one after the other of all the things that were going to happen. Morning came, and
    when Maximianus Augustus was making the role-call on the parade-ground and the name of the
    most blessed Typasius was read out loud, he declined to accept the gold from the hand of
    Maximianus and declared that he was a soldier of Christ. When Maximianus became annoyed at
    him, holy Typasius responded, "Do not be agitated, honoured emperor. If you release me to
    serve Christ, you will both overcome those barbarians without a struggle, and within forty
    days victory will be reported not only from the East and Gaul, but also from Britain and
    Egypt. Maximian Augustus said, "You can have what you want, if you fulfil your promise."
    Immediately he ordered him to be placed under guard, so that he might pay the penalty if what
    he had predicted should not prove true. The praepositus of the cuneus grabbed him straight-:away and cast him in irons.Woods, David. "The Military Martyrs", UCC, April 2005
