Henry Montagu Villiers (4 January 1813 – 9 August 1861) was a British clergyman of the Church of England[1][2] from the Villiers family.
He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, graduating M.A. in 1837,[1] and became vicar of Kenilworth in that year, rector of St. George's Church, Bloomsbury in 1841, and a canon of St. Paul's Cathedral from 1847 to 1856.[1] He was a Doctor of Divinity and Bishop of Carlisle in 1856, and Bishop of Durham from 1860 to 1861.[1]
He was the son of George Villiers and Theresa Parker, and grandson of the 1st Earl of Clarendon.[1] He received a Royal Warrant of Precedence in 1839 entitling him to the rank of an earl's son.[1]
