Baldred Bisset, who lived from about 1260 to around 1311, was a medieval Scottish lawyer. During the Wars of Scottish Independence he prepared submissions to the papal court in 1301 alongside colleagues William Frere and William of Eaglesham, drawing on historical foundation myths and past treaties to argue for Scottish sovereignty. He also served as parson of Kinghorn until King Edward I of England had him removed from that position.
