Æthelwynn, often spelled Ethylwynn, Ethylwyn, or Ethelwynn (10th-century) was an English noblewoman and textile artist. She was known for her embroidery work and her miraculous encounter with Saint Dunstan.
According to Saint Dunstan's biographer, Æthelwynn asked Saint Dunstan to help her design a stole, intended for religious use, that had various figured patterns, and which she planned to later decorate with gold and precious stones. The stole embellished by Æthelwynn has since vanished.
