'''Merovingian script''' or '''Gallo-Roman script''' ({{langx|la|Scriptura Merovingica/Francogallica}}) was a [[Middle Ages|medieval]] variant of the [[Latin script]] so called because it was developed in [[Gaul]] during the [[Merovingian dynasty]]. It was used in the 7th and 8th centuries before the [[Carolingian]] dynasty and the development of [[Carolingian minuscule]].
