Wilgred of Lindisfarne (or Wigred) (died maybe around 942) was appointed Bishop of Lindisfarne around 925. He may have died around 942. He was also known as the Bishop of Chester-Le-Street and the Bishop of the Church of St Cuthbert. He attested charters of King Æthelstan between 928 and 934, and the bishopric in his time was probably the greatest landholder between the Tees and the Tyne.
