Leofwine was a medieval Bishop of Lindsey.
Leofwine was consecrated about 953 and died sometime after.[1] This was a reconstitution of the see after a break in the succession since the death of Burgheard (or perhaps Eadberht) in the previous century. He combined the see with Dorchester in 956,[2] and afterwards the combined see is usually known as Bishop of Lindsey.[1] It appears to have covered Lindsey and Leicester.[2]
