Ælfhun (or Ælphunus) was a medieval Bishop of Dunwich.
Ælfhun was consecrated between 789 and 793 and died about 798.[1] The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that he died at Sudbury, Suffolk and his body was carried back to Dunwich for burial.[2] A Portland stone statue of Ælfhun stands on The Croft at Sudbury, sculpted in 1999 by Alan Michlewaite.[3]
