Saint Agabus (1613) is a painting by Juan Bautista Maino, at Bowes Museum, County Durham, England.
According to later Christian traditions, Agabus was a former suitor of the Virgin Mary who became a hermit and built a chapel dedicated to her on Mount Carmel. Here he bears a model of a chapel and wears a Carmelite robe, probably because of seventeenth-century attempts to associate the Order with the prophets of Mount Carmel.
