The Bishop's Consort is an English choir. It was founded by James Wilkinson in 2000.

The choir was originally formed for a concert in Clifton Cathedral when Wilkinson was a student at Bristol University. The choir now specialises in sacred music, which is sung in its original context. The group performs services and concerts in UK Cathedrals and Churches. Recent tours have been to Ripon Cathedral in 2005 and Southwell Minster in 2006. The choir returned to Southwell in 2007. Membership is drawn largely from students studying at Trinity College of Music in London.
