Brihthelm or Beorhthelm was a Bishop of Selsey.

He may have received a grant of land from King Eadwig in 956, but the charter has been condemned as spurious. [ [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+616 Anglo-Saxons.net Charters S616] accessed on 25 August 2007] Kelly "Charters of Selsey"]

He possibly issued a charter in 957, [ [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+1291 Anglo-Saxons.net Charters 1291] accessed on 25 August 2007] but that document is also supicious.

He died between 956 and 963, or he may have been transferred to Winchester around then.Fryde "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 221]
