Eido I, also Ido, Eid or Ägidius (955 – 20 December 1015), was the bishop of Meissen from 992 to 1015.
Eido, thought to have been a member of the noble von Colditz family, belonged to the cathedral chapter of Magdeburg. His appointment as bishop of Meissen in 992 was on the recommendation of Giselher, Archbishop of Magdeburg.
Among the major events of his period of office was the dispute over the restoration of the bishopric of Merseburg, which had been abolished in 981 by the efforts of Giselher, and of its territories to the east of the Mulde which had fallen to the bishopric of Meissen. Eido was successful in retaining those territories for Meissen even after the restoration of the bishopric of Merseburg in 1004. Although measures had been taken in the court of Otto III to readjust the boundaries, they remained without effect.
Bishop Thietmar of Merseburg, appointed in 1009, reported in Book 7 of his Chronicle that Eido died on 20 December 1015 while travelling through urbs Libzi: this is the first written reference to the town of Leipzig. His body was escorted by Hildeward, bishop of Zeitz, back to Meissen, where it was buried.
