Alredus, or '''Alfred of Beverley''', [[English historians in the Middle Ages|English chronicler]], was [[sacristan]] of the church of [[Beverley]] in the first half of the 12th century.

He wrote, apparently about the year 1143, a [[chronicle]] entitled ''Annales sive Historia de gestis regum Britanniae'', which begins with [[Brutus of Britain|Brutus]] and carries the history of [[England]] down to 1129.

[[Geoffrey of Monmouth]] and [[Simeon of Durham]] are Alured's chief sources.
