Thiemo (Thimo, Theodinarus) (died 1102) was a German Benedictine, who was Archbishop of Salzburg from 1090 to 1101.[1]

He was caught up in the Investiture Controversy, as a papal supporter in opposition to Emperor Henry IV. He went into exile in Palestine. There he was imprisoned at Ascalon, and eventually killed. He is recognised as a martyr by the Catholic Church. His name day is 28 September.[2]
