Peter Alan "Pete" Broadbent (born 31 July 1952) is a British Anglican bishop. He is the current Church of England Bishop of Willesden, an area bishopric in the Diocese of London. During the vacancy in the diocesan see, he is also Acting Bishop of London. He was also the acting area Bishop of Stepney.
Broadbent was educated at Merchant Taylors' School, Northwood, Middlesex. He was 15 when he became a committed Christian through the Crusaders youth organisation. He studied English at Jesus College, Cambridge and then studied theology at St John's College, Nottingham before being ordained.
He was ordained a deacon at Michaelmas (25 September) 1977 and a priest the next Michaelmas (24 September 1978), both times by John Habgood, Bishop of Durham, at Durham Cathedral. Broadbent's first curacy was at St Nicholas' Church, Durham when George Carey, who later became the Archbishop of Canterbury, was its vicar. Broadbent moved to the Diocese of London in 1980 to be curate of Emmanuel Church, Holloway and Jim Thompson, Bishop of Stepney,'s Chaplain for Mission.
