Egbert of Lindisfarne (or Ecgberht) was Bishop of Lindisfarne from his consecration on June 11 802 until his death in 821.Powicke "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 238] He is often confused with Saint Egbert who served as a monk at Lindisfarne, though the latter never became a bishop there.

To Egbert of Lindisfarne was dedicated the Latin poem "De abbatibus" by a monk in one of the dependent houses of Lindisfarne.
