Leofwin (or Leofwine; died after 1070) was a medieval Bishop of Lichfield.Appointed to the see by King Edward the Confessor of England Leofwin was a monk before becoming a bishop. For a time he was abbot of the abbey of Coventry as well as bishop but he was no longer abbot at the time of the Norman Conquest of England. He may have owed his promotion to Lichfield to Leofric Earl of Mercia and Leofric’s family.
