Landulf of Milan (, ) was a late eleventh-century historian of Milan. His work Historiae Mediolanensis contains a proportion of pure invention, as well as gross inaccuracies.Chris Wickham, Lawyers Time p. 62, in Studies in Medieval History Presented to R. H. C. Davis (1985). He is called Landulf Senior to distinguish him from the unrelated chronicler of Milan Landulf Junior.Christopher Kleinhenz, Medieval Italy: An Encyclopedia (2004), p. 216.
He was a married priestConstance H. Berman, Medieval Religion: New Approaches (2005) p. 145. and opponent of the Gregorian Reform and the local Patarenes.
