Berhtwald was a seventh-century English prelate who served as the ninth archbishop of Canterbury from 693 until his death in 731. He was the first in a continuous line of native-born archbishops to hold the see. Before his elevation to the primacy, he served as the abbot of the monastery at Reculver. His leadership was marked by significant ecclesiastical developments, including the establishment of the bishopric of Sherborne and the conversion of the last pagan kingdom in England, Sussex, to Christianity.
