Emilio Layon Bataclan (20 September 1940 – 24 June 2026) was a Filipino prelate of the Catholic Church in the Philippines. He was an auxiliary bishop emeritus of the Latin Church archdiocese of Cebu.[1] Having been the first bishop from Bantayan, Cebu followed by Archbishop John F. Du, he resigned as auxiliary bishop of Cebu on 1 October 2015 after serving the archdiocese for more than 11 years becoming an auxiliary bishop emeritus of Cebu. In between his two stints in Cebu, he was Suffragan Bishop of Iligan.[3][1] His last post was from the parish of San Fernando el Rey in Liloan, Cebu. He also worked with Archbishop Teofilo Camomot when they were assigned both as priests to the Parish of Saint Thomas of Villanova in El Pardo, Cebu City.[citation needed]
