Wulfhere (died c. 900) was Archbishop of York between 854 and 900.

Wulfhere was consecrated in 854.

In 867 the Danes attacked York, and captured it. Wulfhere made peace with the invaders and stayed in York.

In 872, the Northumbrians rebelled against the Danes and their collaborators, and Wulfhere fled York. Eventually he found refuge with King Burgred of Mercia.

Wulfhere was recalled in 873, and continued in York until his death in 892 or 900. After his death, the see remained vacant for eight years.
