Peter Hancock (born 26 July 1955) is a retired Church of England bishop.

[3] Hancock was ordained in the Church of England: made a deacon at Michaelmas, 28 September 1980,[4] and ordained a priest the Michaelmas following, 27 September 1981, both times by Ronald Gordon, Bishop of Portsmouth, at Portsmouth Cathedral.

From 1987 to 1999 he was Vicar of St Wilfrid's Cowplain[6] before becoming Archdeacon of The Meon — a post he held until his ordination to the episcopate.

[16] It was announced in March 2021 that he was recovering from leukaemia but would be taking retirement on medical grounds; a farewell service was held on 22 May 2021.

"[1] In an article in the Bath Chronicle, he said "We will therefore need to think, pray and consider very deeply what it might mean to share the gospel across the diocese, what it might mean to foster spiritual and numerical growth in Church and community, and how we can so order our life as a diocese to enable the Church to grow and flourish in new ways.
