The '''[[Archdeacon]] of Hereford''' is a senior ecclesiastical officer in the [[Church of England]] [[Diocese of Hereford]]. The archdeacon is the senior priest with responsibility over the area of the archdeaconry of Hereford.

==History==
The first recorded archdeacons in Hereford diocese occur soon after the [[Norman Conquest]] (as they do across England) – there were apparently two archdeacons from the outset. However, no territorial titles are recorded until after {{circa|1125}}. The archdeacons at that time were the Archdeacons of Hereford and of Shropshire (aka Salop but distinct from the [[Archdeacon of Salop|Lichfield Salop archdeaconry]]); the latter was renamed [[Archdeacon of Ludlow]] in 1876.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=24311 |date=4 April 1876 |pages=2281–2282  }}</ref>
