Tuda of Lindisfarne (died 664 CE) also known as Saint Tuda was Bishop of Lindisfarne for less than a year.Powicke "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 237] Although raised in Ireland, he was a staunch believer in Roman Catholic practices he succeeded the Celtic Christianity supporter Saint Colman in the bishopric.

It is recorded that Tuda became bishop in 664. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (in its entry for 656) includes a 664 charter for the minster of Medhamsted, or Peter-borough, which lists Tuda as among the consecrators.

The same Chronicle for the year 664 records that Tuda was one of many who died in the plague of that year.

His feast day is October 21. [ [http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=2387 Catholic Online Saints and Angels St. Tuda] accessed on August 28, 2007]
