Walter was a medieval Bishop of Rochester.

Walter was the brother of Theobald of Bec, who was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1139 to 1161.[1] Theobald selected Walter to be Archdeacon of Canterbury soon after Theobald's election, and it was Theobald who secured Walter's election to Rochester.[2]

Walter was elected on 27 January 1148[3] and consecrated on 14 March 1148. He died on 26 July 1182.[4]
