Saint Boisil (died 661) was a monk of Melrose Abbey an offshoot of Lindisfarne then in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria but now in Scotland where he must have been one of the first generation of monks. He probably moved to the new foundation of Melrose when it was started probably some time in the late 640s.
