Hunberht[1] or Humberht[2] was a medieval Bishop of Elmham.
Hunberht was consecrated by 824.[3] The twelfth-century Annals of St Neots says that he crowned Edmund the Martyr as king at Burna on Christmas Day 856, but no source is known for this statement.[4]
Hunberht's date of death is uncertain; he may have died 845 or 856 or in November 869.[3]
After Hunberht, there was an interruption with the episcopal succession through the Danish Viking invasions in the late 9th and early 10th centuries. By the mid-10th century, the sees Elmham and Dunwich had been united under Bishop Eadwulf.
