Mandell Creighton (; 5 July 1843 – 14 January 1901) was a British historian and a bishop of the Church of England.
A scholar of the Renaissance papacy, Creighton was the first occupant of the Dixie Chair of Ecclesiastical History at the University of Cambridge, a professorship established around the time that history was emerging as an independent academic discipline.
He was also the first editor of the English Historical Review, the oldest English language academic journal in the field of history.
Creighton had a second career as a cleric in the Church of England.
He served as a parish priest in Embleton, Northumberland and later, successively, as a Canon Residentiary of Worcester Cathedral, the Bishop of Peterborough and the Bishop of London.
His moderation and worldliness drew praise from Queen Victoria and won notice from politicians.
It was widely thought at the time that Creighton would have become the Archbishop of Canterbury had his early death, at age 57, not supervened.
