Brihthelm or Beorhthelm was a Bishop of Selsey.

He may have received a grant of land from King Eadwig in 956, but the charter has been condemned as spurious.[1][2]

He possibly issued a charter in 957,[3] but that document is also supicious.[2]

He died between 956 and 963, or he may have been transferred to Winchester around then.[4]
