Putta (died circa 688) was a medieval Bishop of Rochester and probably the first Bishop of Hereford. Some modern historians say that the two Puttas were separate individuals.Bede says that in 676 Putta was driven from Rochester by King Æthelred of Mercia or perhaps abandoning it he fixed himself at Hereford (said to have been the centre of a diocese as early as the 6th century) and refounded Hereford Cathedral.
