John Lloyd (Bishop of St David's)
- John Lloyd (Bishop of St David's)
John Lloyd (1638 – 13 February 1687) was Principal of Jesus College, Oxford, Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Bishop of St David's.
Lloyd studied at Merton College, Oxford from 1657 onwards, gaining his BA in 1659. He was awarded further degrees of MA in 1662, BD in 1670 and DD in 1674.[ In 1672, he was appointed precentor of Llandaff Cathedral, later being appointed Treasurer (1679). In 1673, he was elected principal in succession to Sir Leoline Jenkins. He served as Vice-Chancellor between 1682 and 1685. He was already in failing health when he reluctantly accepted the post of Bishop of St David's, and was consecrated on 17 October 1686 – the evidence does not suggest that he ever visited his diocese.][cite book| title=Jesus College 1571-1971 |last=Baker |first = J.
