Iwig (alternatively Iwi, Iwigius, or Ywi of Lindisfarne) was a saint venerated in Wiltshire, England in the Middle Ages. He was reputedly a Northumbrian monk, said to have died and to have been buried in Brittany.[1] Historian David Dumville called him "the other principal saint of Wilton", in reference to Saint Eadgyth.[2] He was supposedly a follower (alumnus) of Saint Cuthbert.[3]

He is listed in two 11th-century litanies.[1] A narrative of that century claimed that his relics had been brought to Wilton AbbeybyBreton monks in the 10th century, and left for safe-keeping at the altar of Saint Eadgyth.[1] The narrative claims that the relics subsequently became immovable [through the wish of the saint to reside there], though historian John Blair suspected that this story may have been invented to justify Wilton's theft of the relics.[1]

His feast day was celebrated on 8 October.[4] The Priory of Ivychurch in Wiltshire is thought to have been named after him.[3]
