The Bishop's Palace stands in the north-east corner of the Cathedral Close in Lichfield, Staffordshire, England. Built in 1687 to replace a 14th-century medieval palace destroyed during the English Civil War, it was the residence of the Bishop of Lichfield from the late 1860s until 1954 and is now used by Lichfield Cathedral School. It is a Grade I listed building, and remains of the north-east tower in its rear garden are a scheduled monument.
