Geoffrey Graham Dow (born 4 July 1942) is a retired British Anglican bishop. He was the Bishop of Carlisle from 2000 to 2009, the 66th holder of the office. He is a well-known Evangelical.
Born in 1942, in Edmonton, London, Dow was educated at St Albans School and The Queen's College, Oxford.
Before his arrival in Carlisle, Dow was the vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Coventry prior to his appointment as Bishop of Willesden, (an area bishopric in the Diocese of London) in 1992.
Dow was made the Bishop of Carlisle in 2000 and retired from this position at the end of April 2009.
Dow was one of the rebel bishops who signed a letter against Rowan Williams' decision not to block the appointment of Jeffrey John as Bishop of Reading in 2003. The other diocesan bishop signatories (referred to, since there were nine, as the Nazgûl) were: Michael Scott-Joynt (Bishop of Winchester), Michael Langrish (Exeter), Michael Nazir-Ali (Rochester), Peter Forster (Chester), James Jones (Liverpool), George Cassidy (Southwell & Nottingham), John Hind (Chichester) and David James (Bradford).
