Liudhard (; modern , also Letard in English) was a Frankish bishop of Senlis in the late 6th century.
==Life== Alban Butler, citing Bede, places his see at Senlis. He was the chaplain of Queen Bertha of Kent, whom she brought with her from the continent upon her marriage to King Æthelberht of Kent. A short way east of Canterbury, he helped found and dedicate to St Martin of Tours the first Christian Anglo-Saxon church in England, St Martin's, still serving as the oldest church in the English-speaking world.
