Mt. Hilda katika kioo cha rangi, kanisa kuu la Gloucester Cathedral.

Maghofu ya Abasia ya Whitby.

Hilda wa Whitby (614 hivi – 17 Novemba 680) alikuwa abesi mwanzilishi wa monasteri ya Whitby, iliyofuata desturi za Ukristo wa Kiselti. Ndipo palipofanyika Sinodi ya Whitbyiliyokubali kufuata desturi za Kanisa la Roma.

Muhimu katika kuvuta Waangli na Wasaksoni katika Ukristo, alisimamia pia monasteri nyingine kwa hekima yake maarufu.

Habari za Hilda zinategemea hasa kitabu cha historia ya Kanisa kilichoandikwa na Beda Mheshimiwa mwaka 731.

Tangu kale anaheshimiwa na Wakatoliki, Waorthodoksi na Waanglikana kama mtakatifu.

Sikukuu yake huadhimishwa tarehe ya kifo chake au siku nyingine.
