Marmaduke Middleton (died 1593) was an English bishop.
He was educated at the University of Oxford, but left before graduating.[1] He was vicar of Coolock and Dunboyne, in Ireland, and then rector of Killare, County Meath.[2] In 1579 he became bishop of Waterford and Lismore, in the Church of Ireland. In office during the Desmond Rebellions, he complained of the strong Catholic and rebel feeling in Waterford,[3][4] and the attitude of the Mayor Patrick Walsh.[5][6]
In 1582 he was translated, becoming bishop of St Davids in Wales.[7] He was attacked by Lewis Gunter, who made many accusations against him.[8] He then faced charges in the Court of High Commission, including forgery of a will.[9] He was deprived of his see in 1593, dying shortly afterwards.
