Hervé Jean Robert Giraud (born 26 February 1957) is a French prelate of the Catholic Church who has been named Bishop of Viviers with the personal title of archbishop.

[2] He earned a licentiate in moral theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in 1987, and while in Rome he was chaplain at the church of Saint-Louis-des-Français.

He was professor of moral theology at the Institut pastoral d'études religeuses de Lyon and at the Abbey of Champagne from 1988 to 1992.

He was a member of the Commission for Ongoing Formation of the diocese of Viviers from 1991 to 2000; member of the Commission d'Ethique de l'Association Française pour le Dépistage et la Prévention des Handicaps de l'Enfant at the French Ministry of Health from 1991 to 1994; member of the National Council for the Pastoral Care of the Family from 1997 to 1999; secretary of the Episcopal Commission for Ordained Ministries from 1999 to 2002; and National Chaplain for Marriage Preparation Centers for 2002/2003.

[12] On 5 March 2015, Pope Francis named him Archbishop of Sens and prelate of the Territorial Prelature of the Mission de France at Pontigny.

In his view the way Francis raises the question repeatedly provides "the example of freedom of speech which invites us to break the deadlock of silence".
