Stephen Birchington (died 1407) was a British monk and writer in the 14th century.
For some time he held the offices of treasurer and warden of the manors of the monastery.
[2] Birchington wrote Vitae Archiepiscoporum Cantuariensium ("Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury"), which was later edited and published by Henry Wharton in his Anglia Sacra (1691).
Wharton hypothesised that Birchington wrote another and longer version of the Lives of the Archbishops, which was not preserved.
Nigel Ramsay has further argued that De Regibus, and another set of archiepiscopal lives held in Lambeth Palace Library, are more likely to be the work of a predecessor, working in about the 1360s, and that Birchington's original contribution, which would have continued the story into the later fourteenth century, is lost.
