The Coligny Calendar is a Gallo-Roman luni-solar calendar with a 30-year metonic cycle likely compiled by Druidic leaders in the first century BCE, based partly on earlier Babylonian calendars.

The calendar divides the year into twelve named months plus intercalary months, with each month split into two fortnights tracked by movable pegs.
