Saint Bertwald of Ramsbury (otherwise Britwold of Glastonbury) was an 11th century Bishop of Ramsbury.

Bertwald became a monk at Glastonbury Abbey and was appointed Bishop of Ramsbury in 1005. He is mostly known from the witness lists of King Canute's charters which show he was in high favour with the Danish monarch. He died in 1045 and was buried at Glastonbury.
