Ætla
Bishops of Dorchester
Church Christian
In office c. 660
Predecessor Agilbertus
Successor Harlardus

Ætla, who lived in the 7th century, is believed to be one in a series of Bishops of Dorchester during the Anglo-Saxon period. The village of Attlebridge, Norfolk is named after him, as he is credited for the construction of a bridge ('brycg' in Old English) there.

Ætla was attested about 660.[1] In the 670's, the seat of his bishopric was at Dorchester-on-Thames, which was then under Mercian control.[2]
