Bifus or Bisi was a medieval Bishop of the East Angles.
Bifus' consecration is normally dated to 669 or 670. However, there is reason to suspect the Venerable Bede made a mistake and he was actually consecrated in 664.[1] He resigned the see in 672. He was the last bishop of the East Angles.[2]
Bede in his history, records that he attended the Council of Hertford in 672.[3] When he resigned, his bishopric was divided into the sees of Dunwich and Elmham.[4]
