# List of Anglican bishops who converted to Catholicism

This is a list of notable Anglican bishops who converted to the Catholic Church.
A broad definition of 'Anglican' is employed here, including churches within the Anglican Communion, but also those of the Continuing Anglican movement which formed following controversy over various actual or proposed theological and doctrinal reforms, such as the ordination of women. These reforms have reportedly spurred on individual bishops to leave their own churches to join the Catholic Church. During a year-long period across 2021 and 2022, four Church of England bishops converted to Catholicism; all four no longer presided over a see at the times of their conversions.
