Kenneth Julian Faithfull Bickersteth, MC, QHC (5 July 1885 – 16 October 1962) was a British Anglican priest, chaplain, and headmaster. He started his career as a school chaplain and teacher. During World War I, he served as a military chaplain. Between the wars he was headmaster of The Collegiate School of St Peter in Adelaide, Australia, and then headmaster of Felsted School in Essex, England. From 1942 to 1958, he served as Archdeacon of Maidstone in the Diocese of Canterbury, Church of England.
Bickersteth was born on 5 July 1885 in Ripon, Yorkshire, England. He was one of six sons born to The Reverend Canon Samuel Bickersteth (1857–1937) and Ella Chlora Faithfull Bickersteth (1858–1954). His mother was the daughter of Professor Sir Monier Monier-Williams, and she was "one of the five or six little girls in Oxford on whom Lewis Carroll modelled his Alice in Wonderland".
Bickersteth was educated at Rugby School, then an all-boys public school in Rugby, Warwickshire. He then studied mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford. He graduated from the University of Oxford in 1907 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree; as per tradition, his BA was promoted to a Master of Arts (MA Oxon). His nephew is Bishop John Bickersteth.
