Bede (pronounced /biːd/; Old English: Bǣda or Bēda; 672 / 673 – May 26, 735), also referred to as Saint Bede or the Venerable Bede (Latin: Beda Venerabilis), was a monk at the Northumbrian monastery of Saint Peter at Monkwearmouth, today part of Sunderland, England, and of its companion monastery, Saint Paul's, in modern Jarrow (see Wearmouth-Jarrow), both in the Kingdom of Northumbria.

He is well known as an author and scholar, and his most famous work, Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (The Ecclesiastical History of the English People) gained him the title "The Father of English History". In 1899, Bede was made a Doctor of the Church by Leo XIII, a position of theological significance; he is the only native of Great Britain to achieve this designation (Anselm of Canterbury, also a Doctor of the Church, was originally from Italy).

Bede (c. 672 – 27 May 735) was an Anglo-Saxon historian, theologian and scientific writer; often called "the Venerable Bede". His best-known work, the Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum was completed in 731.
