Ælfwine or Ælle (died circa 937) was a medieval Bishop of Lichfield. He was consecrated between 903 and 915 and died between 935 and 941.Ælfwine appears to have had a close relationship with King Æthelstan. Ælfwine was probably close to Æthelstan before he became king and consistently attested the king’s charters in a more prominent position than his status should have entitled him to.
