Vercassivellaunus(?-46BC) was a Gaulish commander of the Arverni who led a relief force to assist Vercingetorix at the Battle of Alesia. He was a cousin of Vercingetorix. Sedullos, chief of the Lemovices, joined his force with 10,000 men and was killed at the battle. According to Caesar's own account in "De bello Gallico", Vercassivellaunus was taken prisoner. His further fate is unknown, but most probably he was executed after Caesar's triumphal procession in Rome in 46BC.
