Martin Clive Warner SSC (born 24 December 1958) is an Anglican bishop in England. He is currently the Bishop of Chichester.
Warner was educated at King's School, Rochester, Maidstone Grammar School, St Chad's College and the University of Durham in the 1970s. He then trained for ordination at St Stephen's House, Oxford, later earning a PhD at the University of Durham.
Warner was the canon pastor at St Paul's Cathedral from 2003 to 2008 and then canon treasurer there until 2009.
Warner was consecrated as a bishop in the Church of England at York Minster on 26 January 2010 and then welcomed on 30 January 2010 at St Hilda's Church, Whitby. He suffered a cardiac arrest on 23 August 2010 while on holiday in Florence, but has since returned to work. From 2008 to 2011, Warner wrote the weekly "Sunday's Readings" column for the Church Times.
On 3 May 2012, Warner's appointment as the next diocesan Bishop of Chichester was announced, his election was confirmed on 2 July and his enthronement took place in Chichester Cathedral on 25 November.
On 20 November 2012, Warner was one of three diocesan bishops in the General Synod who voted against a motion to allow the ordination of women as bishops in the Church of England. His position on the issue has been criticised by some local clergy and parishioners across the Chichester diocese.
