7th Anglican Bishop of Stepney This article is about the bishop. For his father the theologian, see Robert Moberly (priest).

Robert Hamilton Moberly (14 May 1884 – 16 September 1978) was the 7th Anglican Bishop of Stepney from 1936 until 1952 when he was appointed Dean of Salisbury.

He was born into an eminent ecclesiastical family in 1884 and educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford before embarking on an ecclesiastical career with a curacy at Dover. During the Great War, he served from June, 1917, as a Temporary Chaplain to the Forces, and was regarded as ‘A1’. Inner city posts followed before promotion to the Suffragan Bishopric of Stepney, a post he held until transferring to the Deanery at Salisbury sixteen years later. He was described as a brilliant scholar in his youth.

In 1917, he married Rosamund Vere née Smyth; the couple had two sons. He died on 16 September 1978.
