John Wareing Bardsley (29 March 1835 – 14 March 1914) was the Bishop of Carlisle.

He was the son of Canon James Bardsley, a Bradford curate. He was educated at Manchester Grammar School[1] and Trinity College, Dublin.

He began his career as a curate at St Anne's Sale[2] after which he held incumbencies at St John's, Bootle[3] and then St Saviour's, Liverpool.[4] From 1880 to 1886 he was Archdeacon of Warrington and then Archdeacon of Liverpool for a year before his ordination to the episcopate as Bishop of Sodor and Man in 1887. In 1891 he was translated to Carlisle,[5] a post he held until his death on 14 March 1914.[6]
