Seaxwulf (or Saxwulf or Sexwulf or Saxulf or Sexulf; before 676 – c. 692) was the founding abbot of the Mercian monastery of Medeshamstede and an early medieval bishop of Mercia. Very little is known of him beyond these details drawn from sources such as Bede’s Ecclesiastical History. Some further information was written down in the 12th century at Peterborough Abbey as Medeshamstede was known by that time.
