Roger de Bailleul (died 25 September 1179) was a medieval Benedictine monk abbot of Bec and archbishop-elect of Canterbury.He was born in Lombardy but according to the Gallia Christiana he was a native of Bailleul (although which one has not been identified) hence the name given to him. However Robert du Mont confirms it was Lombardy.He became a monk of the Abbey of Our Lady of Bec Normandy and skilful jurist teaching civil and canon law in England.
