Michael Francis Perham (8 November 1947 – 17 April 2017) was a British Anglican bishop. From 2004 to 2014, he served as the Bishop of Gloucester in the Church of England.
Perham was born on 8 November 1947 in Dorset, England. He attended Hardye's School, Dorchester before going to Keble College, Oxford in 1971 to study theology. While there, he served as JCR President. He also studied theology at Cuddesdon College (now Ripon College Cuddesdon) where he later served as chair of the board of governors.
Perham was a curate of St Mary's Church, Addington (Diocese of Canterbury) from 1976 to 1981, before becoming chaplain to the Bishop of Winchester, John Taylor, from 1981 to 1984. He was also Secretary to the Church of England Doctrine Commission from 1979 to 1984.
Perham became the team rector of the Oakdale Team Ministry in Poole in 1984, a position he relinquished in 1992 to become the precentor and a residential canon at Norwich Cathedral. He was instituted as Provost of Derby on 21 March 1998 (retitled as the Dean of Derby on 17 March 2000 with the general deprecation of provosts by the Church of England).
Perham was a member of the Church of England Liturgical Commission from 1986 to 2001 and had a significant role in the production of the Common Worship service book.
