{{For|others with the name|Adalgisel (given name)}}
'''Adalgisel''' or '''Adalgis''' (''Adalgyselus ducis'' in contemporary [[Vulgar Latin|Latin]]) was a [[Franks|Frankish]] [[dux|duke]] and the [[mayor of the palace]] of [[Austrasia]]. He assumed that office in December 633 or January 634 at the same time that [[Sigebert III]] assumed the kingship. Along with [[Cunibert, Bishop of Cologne]], he acted as [[regent]] for the young king. Adalgisel, Cunibert, and Sigebert were all appointed by [[Dagobert I]].

Adalgisel and [[Grimoald I|Grimoald]] led the Austrasian army against the [[Thuringii]] sometime around 639, but their magnates defected and they were forced to concentrate on protecting the young king's life. His forces were subsequently defeated by [[Radulf of the Thuringii|Duke Radulf]]. Not long after, he ceased to be duke and was replaced by [[Pepin of Landen]], probably following the nearly concurrent death of Dagobert. Though he lost his office, there is no evidence that he died at that time and some charters referring to a person of the same name may refer to him, thus indicating his survival long after the fact.

He left a son [[Bobo of Auvergne|Bobo]], who had accompanied him into battle against the Thuringii, and was later [[Duke of Auvergne]].
