The Bishop of Buckingham is an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of Oxford, in the Province of Canterbury, England.[1] The title takes its name from the historic county town of Buckingham; the See was erected under the Suffragans Nomination Act 1888, by Order in Council dated 22 November 1913.[2] The bishops suffragan of Buckingham have been area bishops since the Oxford area scheme was founded in 1984.[3]

The see is presently vacant following the death of the most recent incumbent, Alan Wilson, in February 2024. On Wednesday 27 November it was announced that the next Bishop of Buckingham will be the Revd Canon Dave Bull, following his consecration in early 2025.
