Germanus (sometimes Germanus of Winchester died circa 1013) was a medieval English abbot and Benedictine monk. He travelled to Rome in about 957 and became a monk at Fleury Abbey in France. Back in England by 964 he served as a monastic official before being named abbot of Winchcombe Abbey in about 970 a position he was removed from in 975. Germanus may have become abbot of Cholsey Abbey in 992.
