This is a list of the archbishops and bishops in the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, in post in 2007.[1]

In 2007, the church had 10 provinces in Nigeria, each with an archbishop. Each province is divided into dioceses; there were 138 dioceses in Nigeria (and 3 external mission dioceses), each with a bishop. Each archbishop is also the bishop of one of the dioceses in his province.
