Hræthhun (or Rethhun or Hrethhun) Bishop of Leicester, died in 839 or 840.^[1]

Hræthhun was consecrated bishop between 814 and 816.^[1] He was styled Abbot of Abingdon in a charter dated 811. However, this charter was found to be a forgery,^[2] and so Kelly (2000) excluded him from the list of abbots.
