Hædde was a 7th-century English monk and bishop who served the West Saxon church. Born around 650, he was a member of the community at Whitby Abbey before being consecrated as a bishop by Theodore of Tarsus in 676. He is noted for being the first West Saxon bishop to establish his residence in Winchester, rather than at Dorchester-on-Thames. During his leadership, he served under four different West Saxon kings and contributed to the legal codes established by King Ine.
