Brihthelm or Beorhthelm was a Bishop of Selsey.

According to a South Saxon charter, supposedly from 956, Brihthelm received a grant of land from a King Eadwig; however, the charter (S.616) is likely to have been a later forgery, although probably based on a genuine contemporary document.^[1]^[2]

A charter (S.1291) issued by Brihthelm in 957, pertaining to the restoration of lands seized around Selsey by a certain Ælfsige, is also thought to be suspicious, but again it is probable that a genuine contemporary document lies behind it.^[3]^[4]

Brihthelm died between 956 and 963, or he may have been transferred to Winchester around then.^[5]
