The Bishop of Edmonton is an episcopal title used by an area bishop of the Church of England Diocese of London in the Province of Canterbury, England.[1] The title takes its name after Edmonton, an area in the North of the London Borough of Enfield; the See was erected under the Suffragans Nomination Act 1888 by Order in Council dated 29 May 1970.[2]

The See was erected in order to take oversight of a new fourth suffragan area (initially the deaneries of North and South Camden, Central and West Barnet, East and West Haringey, and Enfield)[3] created by the diocese's 1970 experimental area scheme;[4] bishops suffragan of Edmonton have been area bishops since the London area scheme was founded in 1979.[5] The See has been vacant since Rob Wickham's resignation on 9 July 2023.[6]

On 20 December 2023 it was announced by the Diocese of London that the role will be filled in 2024 by Anderson Jeremiah, who is currently Associate Dean at Lancaster University and a priest in the Diocese of Blackburn.[7]

The episcopal title of "Bishop of Edmonton" is one of three that are duplicated in the Anglican Communion. The other Bishop of Edmonton is a diocesan bishop in Canada.[citation needed]
