The Diocese of Exeter is a Church of England diocese covering Devon, and is one of the largest in England. The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter in Exeter is the seat of the diocesan bishop the Right Reverend Michael Langrish DD, Lord Bishop of Exeter. It is part of the Province of Canterbury. The Lord Bishop is assisted in his duties by two Suffragan Bishops: the Bishop of Crediton and the Bishop of Plymouth.
The diocese included Cornwall until 1876, when it became an independent Diocese of Truro.
