Æthelwig (d. 16 February in either 1077 or 1078) was an Abbot of Evesham before and during the Norman Conquest of England. Born sometime around 1010 or 1015 he was elected abbot in 1058. Known for his legal expertise he administered estates for Ealdred the Bishop of Worcester prior to his election as abbot. After his election he appears to have acted as Ealdred’s deputy and was considered as a possible successor when Ealdred was elected Archbishop of York.
