The Bishop of Sheffield is the Ordinary of the Church of England Diocese of Sheffield in the Province of York.

A similar title was first created as a suffragan see in the Diocese of York in 1901. John Quirk, the only Bishop suffragan of Sheffield assisted the Archbishop of York in overseeing that diocese. Under George V, the Diocese of Sheffield was created out of the south-western part of the Diocese of York in 1914.

The See is vacant following the translation of Steven Croft, who was the seventh bishop. He was assisted by Peter Burrows, Bishop suffragan of Doncaster, who has become acting Bishop of Sheffield during the vacancy. On 31 January 2017, it was announced that Philip North is to be translated to Sheffield before June 2017.
