Bishop of Leicester (suffragan)

The Bishop of Leicester was a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of Peterborough in the Province of Canterbury.

After a thousand years the episcopal title was resurrected as a suffragan see within the diocese of Peterborough. The suffragan Bishop of Leicester assisted the diocesan Bishop of Peterborough in overseeing the diocese.

In the modern Diocese of Leicester, there has been a stipendiary (paid) Assistant Bishop of Leicester since 1987, but a proposal to create a new suffragan See of Loughborough has been approved to replace the Assistant Bishop role.
