Alcuin of York () or Ealhwine, nicknamed Albinus or Flaccus ( 730s or 740s – 19 May 804 ) was an English scholar, ecclesiastic, poet and teacher from York, Northumbria.

Alcuin was born in Northumbria, presumably sometime in the 740s.

In common hagiographical fashion, the Vita Alcuini asserts that Alcuin was ' of noble English stock ,' and this statement has usually been accepted by scholars.

Because in early Anglo-Latin writing, paterfamilias (" head of a family, householder ") usually referred to a ceorl, Donald A. Bullough suggests that Alcuin's family was of cierlisc status: i. e., free but subordinate to a noble lord, and that Alcuin and other members of his family rose to prominence through beneficial connections with the aristocracy.

Alcuin was a Northumbrian monk and deacon who served as head of the Palace School from 782 to 796, except for the years 790 to 793 when he returned to England.

Among those to follow Alcuin across the Channel to the Frankish court was Joseph Scottus, an Irishman who left some original biblical commentary and acrostic experiments.

Alcuin led this effort and was responsible for the writing of textbooks, creation of word lists, and establishing the trivium and quadrivium as the basis for education.

According to a contemporary letter from Alcuin of York, an English deacon and scholar who spent over a decade at Charlemagne's court as one of his chief advisors, " the vengeance of the blood shed by the father has reached the son "; and Alcuin adds " This was not a strengthening of the kingdom, but its ruin.
