Bishop Walden Perkins (October 18, 1841 – June 20, 1894) was a United States representative and Senator from Kansas.

Born in Rochester, Ohio, he attended the common schools and Knox College (Galesburg, Illinois).

He prospected for gold through California and New Mexico from 1860 to 1862 and served four years in the Union Army during the Civil War as sergeant, adjutant, and captain.

He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1890 to the Fifty-second Congress, but was appointed to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Preston B. Plumb, and served from January 1, 1892, to March 3, 1893, when a successor was elected and qualified.

He resumed the practice of his profession in Washington, D.C., and died there in 1894; interment was in Rock Creek Cemetery.
