Theophilus Feild aka Feild (bap. 1575, Cripplegate - 1636^[1]) was successively bishop of Llandaff (1619-1627), of St. David's (1627-1635) and of Hereford (1635-1636).

The son of notable preacher John Feild and father of Architect David Feild, he entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge as a sizar but received his B.A. from Pembroke College in 1595/6.^[2] He owed his earlier promotion to the Duke of Buckingham. The noted antiquary Sir John Stradling received his poetic endorsements for his works.
