John Scory (died 1585) was an English Dominican friar[1] who later became a bishop in the Church of England.
He was Bishop of Rochester from 1551 to 1552, and then translated to Bishop of Chichester from 1552 to 1553. He was deprived of this position on Queen Mary's accession, but returned to the Anglican episcopate under Elizabeth's reign as Bishop of Hereford from 1559 to 1585.
He participated in the Westminster Disputation of 1559.[2]
