Saint Willibert (September 11, 889) was Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cologne from 870 to 889 .

At the instigation of King Ludwig the German , the Archbishop of Mainz invited Liutbert , the people and clergy of Cologne to elect a bishop in Deutz. Here he announced to them that they should elect a cleric from among their number as archbishop, whom he would also consecrate immediately. If they refused, the king would give them a bishop at his own discretion within three days. So Willibert, who was a priest at Cologne Cathedral, was elected archbishop on January 7th, 870 and was presumably consecrated immediately afterwards . He was considered a man from a good family, a good preacher and a strict clergyman.
