Pippin I (died Dec. 13, 838) was the Carolingian king of Aquitaine, the second son of the emperor Louis I the Pious.

Pippin was granted Aquitaine in July 814 and was recognized as king in 817, though it was clear that he was to remain subordinate to his elder brother, Lothar, the heir to the imperial title. It was Pippin who in 830 started the revolt of Louis I’s elder three sons against their father, but in February 831 he became reconciled with Louis. Rebelling again in 832, he was then deposed from his kingship by Louis. He escaped from detention and took advantage of his support in Aquitaine, joining his brothers in renewed rebellion against Louis in 833. Tensions with his brothers led Pippin to repent in 834, and he helped to restore the emperor’s authority. Aquitaine was then given back to him, with Anjou in addition.
