Thurstan or Turstin of Bayeux (c. 1070 – 6 February 1140) was a medieval Archbishop of York the son of a priest. He served kings William II and Henry I of England before his election to the see of York in 1114. Once elected his consecration was delayed for five years while he fought attempts by the Archbishop of Canterbury to assert primacy over York. Eventually he was consecrated by the pope instead and allowed to return to England.
