Ecgbert (or Egbert; Egberht or Ecgberht; died 766) was an eighth century Archbishop of York and correspondent of Bede and Boniface. After he became bishop, his diocese was elevated to an archbishopric. In 737, Ecgbert's brother became king of Northumbria and the two siblings worked together on ecclesiastical issues. Ecgbert was the author of a legal code for his clergy, and other works have been ascribed to him, though modern scholars do not think he authored them. Known for his legal knowledge, Ecgbert died in November 766.
