'''Sunderolt''' (or '''Sunderhold''') (died 25 June 891) was the [Archbishop of Mainz](/source/Archbishop_of_Mainz) from 889 until his death.

Sunderolt had not held the primatial see of Germany for long when a [Viking](/source/Viking) invasion of [West Francia](/source/West_Francia) attracted his attention. He led an army of [Rhenish](/source/Rhineland) and [Lotharingia](/source/Lotharingia)n troops against the Vikings. He was killed in the ensuing battle, for which the ''[Annales Fuldenses](/source/Annales_Fuldenses)'' castigated his rashness. He was succeeded by [Hatto I](/source/Hatto_I%2C_Archbishop_of_Mainz) of [Reichenau](/source/Reichenau_Island).
