Ruth Gledhill (born 1959) is an English journalist and the longstanding religion correspondent for The Times.^[1]

Gledhill grew up in Gratwich, Staffordshire, a small village near Uttoxeter, as the daughter of the local vicar. She is married to Alan Franks, a Times feature writer. They have one son, Arthur.

Gledhill began her career in Uttoxeter with the Uttoxeter Advertiser and then moved to the Birmingham Post and Mail before joining the Daily Mail in 1984 and The Times in 1987; she became religion correspondent in 1989.

She co-authored (with Tim Webb)^[2] a guide to Birmingham entitled Birmingham is not a Boring City. She also edited The Times Book of Prayers and The Times Book of Best Sermons, published for six years in connection with The Times Preacher of the Year Award.
