Sheila Rodwell OBE (née Harrison; March 7, 1947 – June 16, 2009), known professionally by her first married name Sheila Bingham, was a British nutritional epidemiologist known for conducting detailed studies into clarify the biological mechanisms underlying the effects of different diets on health and disease, especially cancer.

She was one of the founding investigators of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition and the EPIC Norfolk cohort in and around Norwich. She became deputy director of the MRC Dunn Human Nutrition Unit in 1997 and leader of the "Diet and Cancer" group. In 2006, she became director of the new MRC Centre for Nutritional Epidemiology in Cancer Prevention and Survival at the University of Cambridge. She was honorary professor of Nutritional Epidemiology at the University of Cambridge and lifelong fellow at Clare Hall.
