Eadhæd (or Eadhedus or Eadheath or Eadhaed) was a medieval Bishop of Lindsey and Bishop of Ripon.He was a companion of Chad of Mercia. He was consecrated in 678. He was expelled from Lindsey and was made Bishop of Ripon around 679. This was part of the process whereby Bishop Wilfrid of York’s large diocese was broken into three parts with new bishoprics established at York Hexham and Ripon. Along with Eadhæd Bosa was appointed to York and Eata was appointed to Hexham.
