John Scott Gaisford (7 October 1934 – 4 January 2026) was a British Anglican bishop and was the second Bishop of Beverley. The first, Robert Crosthwaite had been a standard suffragan bishop within the Diocese of York from 1889 to 1923 ; Gaisford was the first appointed to be a provincial episcopal visitor ("flying bishop") for the Province of York when the Church of England began ordaining women as priests.
