(Cyniberct, Cuniberct, or Kinbert; Lat. Chumbrechus) is the name of two early British bishops:

1. The fourth bishop of the Lindisfari, in the see of Siduacester. His exact date is not known, but is between 706 and 733. It was from him that Bede received his information on the ecclesiastical history of Lindsey.

2. The twelfth bishop of Winchester, was present at the legatine synod of 787. Between 799 and 801 he went to Rome with the archbishop, and as his successor appears in 803. He probably remained or died nabroad.
