Enos Nuttall was the Anglican Primate of the Church in the Province of the West Indies, elected such in 1893.

Born in Lancashire, England, January 26, 1842, he went to Jamaica in 1862 as an unordained missionary of the Methodist Church. He was ordained a Priest in the Anglican Church in 1866, and was consecrated Bishop of Jamaica in St. Paul's Cathedral in London in October 1880.

The Anglican Province of the West Indies was created in 1883 and held its first Provincial Synod in Jamaica in October in that year. Bishop Nuttall played a leading role in drawing up a Constitution for the Province. Bishop William Austin of Guiana was elected the first Primate. Bishop Nuttall succeeded Bishop Austin as Primate in 1893.

His title was changed from Primate to Archbishop in 1897.
