Sherman Chauncey Bishop (November 18, 1887 – May 28, 1951) was an American arachnologist and herpetologist who was a professor of zoology at the University of Rochester from 1928 to 1951.

[2] Bishop completed his undergraduate education and advanced studies in zoology at Cornell University.

[1][2] In 1928, Bishop joined the Department of Zoology at the University of Rochester, where he worked until his death in 1951.

[2] Bishop co-authored more than a hundred research papers on spiders, salamanders, fishes, birds, mammals, toads, and turtles.

The Field Museum in Chicago obtained his salamander collection, which was so extensive it required two railroad boxcars for transport and necessitated floor reinforcement in the storage area.
