Ceolwulf (or Ceolulfus) was a medieval Bishop of Lindsey.
Ceolwulf was consecrated in 767. He died in 796.Fryde, et al. Handbook of British Chronology p. 219 Charlemagne, in about 793–796 wrote to both Ceolwulf and Æthelhard, Archbishop of Canterbury asking them to plead with Offa of Mercia about some Englishmen who were currently in exile. Ceolwulf left England in 796 with Eadbald, the Bishop of London, but it is not clear if this was as an exile or on pilgrimage or for some other reason.Kirby Earliest English Kings p. 147 This was shortly after the collapse of Mercian power following the death of Offa. Ceolwulf seems to have not returned to Lindsey, as a new bishop, Eadwulf begins to appear in the records not long after Ceolwulf's departure.Brooks Early History of the Church of Canterbury p. 122
