The Rt Rev James Leslie Randall (4 August 1828 – 17 January 1922) was an English Anglican clergyman and the inaugural Bishop of Reading from 1889 until 1908.[1]

Randall was born in Dorking, Surrey, the son of James Randall (priest), Archdeacon of Berkshire, and Rebe Lowndes.[2] He was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford.[3] He held incumbencies at Newbury, Sandhurst and Mixbury before being appointed Archdeacon of Buckingham, a post he held until elevation to the Episcopate.[4] He died on 17 January 1922 and after his death a committee was set up to fund, then place, a memorial to honour his 56 years service to the Diocese of Oxford.[5]

In 1902 he presented a decorative font-cover, designed by G. F Bodley, to the Oxford Cathedral, in memory of his late wife.[6]

He died in Bournemouth, aged 93.[1]
