Patrick Burnet Harris (born 30 September 1934) is a retired Church of England bishop who served in two episcopal positions.

He was born on 30 September 1934 and educated at St Albans School and Keble College, Oxford. He was ordained in 1961 [2] and his first post was as a curate at St Ebbes' Oxford[3] after which he became a missionary in South America. He became the Archdeacon of Salta in 1969 before being ordained to the episcopate four years later as Bishop of Northern Argentina.[4] After seven years he returned to England firstly as Rector of Kirkheaton [5] and then Secretary of the Partnership for World Mission[6] where he remained until 1988 when he was appointed Bishop of Southwell, a post he held for 11 years. In retirement he continues to serve as an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Gloucester.
