John Taylor Hughes (12 April 1908 – 21 July 2001) was an Anglican bishop in the 20th century.
Hughes was educated firstly in Uxbridge and subsequently at Bede College, University of Durham. He was ordained as a deacon at Michaelmas 1931 (26 September) at Auckland Castle and as a priest in Advent the next year (18 December 1932) at Durham Cathedral — both times by Hensley Henson, Bishop of Durham; and was successively an assistant chaplain and tutor at his former college, a curate at Shildon and a vicar at West Hartlepool. Returning to his home city in 1948, Hughes became the warden of Southwark Diocesan Retreat House and a missioner of Southwark Cathedral. He was consecrated a bishop on 21 September 1956 at Westminster Abbey, to serve as Bishop of Croydon (at that time, one of three suffragan bishops in the Diocese of Canterbury), a position he held for over 20 years; additionally taking on the role of Bishop to the Armed Forces from 1966.
In 1964, Hughes published What difference does faith make?
