The bishop of Table Bay is a suffragan bishop in the Anglican Diocese of Cape Town. Since 2004[1] the incumbent has been The Right Reverend Garth Counsell. Like the bishop of Dover the incumbent is in effect the diocesan bishop as his or her superior is primate of an ecclesiastical province.[2]

According to the canons of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, the bishop of Table Bay has the rights and powers of a diocesan bishop, and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Diocese of Cape Town.[3]
