Boso of Merseburg (died 1 November 970) was the first Bishop of Merseburg in Saxony-Anhalt, and "Apostle of the Wends." Boso, a native of Bavaria, was a Benedictine monk of Saint Emmeram's in Regensburg, from where he was summoned to the court of Otto I, who, considering the conversion of the lately subjugated Wends indispensable to the security of the German Empire, sent Boso to convert them to Christianity. In the beginning Boso's mission appeared useless, because of the hatred of the Wends for the Germans who had deprived them of their liberty. Boso however studied their language in order to preach to them in their own tongue, and gradually gained their trust and respect.

Ausgebildet wurde er im Regensburger Kathedralkloster Sankt Emmeram. Im Auftrage von Kaiser Otto I. missionierte Boso östlich der Saale im Gebiet der Sorben. Dafür wurde er von dem Herrscher reichlich mit kirchlichen Einkünften ausgestattet. Weil er die Sprache seines Missionsgebietes beherrschte, hatte er Erfolg mit der Verkündung der christlichen Botschaft. Bei Zeitz in einem Wald ließ Boso an einem Ort, den er nach seinem Namen (Buosenrod, 976 in einer Urkunde erwähnt) benannte, eine Kirche aus Stein errichten. Für den Kirchenbau wurde ein sorbischer heiliger Hain gerodet. Boso wurde im Jahre 968 durch Adalbert von Magdeburg zum ersten Bischof von Merseburg geweiht. 970 ist er gestorben und wurde in der Johanneskirche in Merseburg begraben. Er wurde seliggesprochen, als Gedenktag gilt der 1. November oder der 29. Dezember. (de)

Boso however studied their language in order to preach to them in their own tongue, and gradually gained their trust and respect. In 967 or 968, Boso was able to provide for the creation of three new bishoprics based at Merseburg, Meissen and Zeitz. He chose Merseburg as his own bishopric; , another Benedictine monk, became Bishop of Zeitz, and , of Meissen. All three were consecrated on Christmas Day 968, by their metropolitan, Adalbert of Magdeburg. Boso continued his missionary labours, but died on a visit to his native Bavaria. He was succeeded by Gisilher. (en)
