Roger de Meyland[a] (died 1295) was a medieval Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, England.
Roger was a cousin of King Henry III of England, although the exact relationship is unclear.[1] Roger was born c. 1215, and may have been a son of William de Longespee, uncle of Henry III. Little is known of his early career, and he first appears in 1257 as a canon of Lichfield and a papal chaplain.[2] He was elected in January 1257, and consecrated on 10 March 1258.[3] His election was probably due to the influence of Richard of Cornwall, King Henry's brother, whom Roger later accompanied to Germany, where Richard had been elected king.[2]
Roger was High Sheriff of Berkshire in 1271.
Roger died on 16 December 1295.[3]
