Ealdred was a medieval Bishop of Cornwall.

In 994, King Æthelred of England removed the diocese of Cornwall from the supervision of the bishop of Crediton.Barlow "English Church 100-1066" p. 212] The diploma granting the liberty of the diocese declares that it was written by Sigeric, archbishop of Canterbury, although it is unlikely that it was actually written by his own hand.Chaplais "Royal Anglo-Saxon 'Chancery'" "Studies in Medieval History" pp. 44-45]
