The '''Archdeacon of Nottingham''' is a senior ecclesiastical officer in the [[Church of England]] [[Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham]], who exercises supervision of clergy and has responsibility for church buildings within the Archdeaconry of Nottingham.

==History==
The ancient Archdeaconry of Nottingham was an extensive ecclesiastical jurisdiction within the [[Diocese of York]], England. It was created around 1100 – at which time the first archdeacons were being created across the nation – and comprised almost the whole of the county of [[Nottinghamshire]], and was divided into the four deaneries of Nottingham, [[Newark-on-Trent|Newark]], [[Bingham, Nottinghamshire|Bingham]] and [[Retford]]. The archdeaconry remained as a division of York diocese for more than seven centuries until it was transferred by [[Order in Council]] to the [[Diocese of Lincoln]] on 5 September 1837.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=19538 |date=5 September 1837 |pages=2334–2337}}</ref>

The archdeaconry was transferred once more when it became part of the new [[diocese of Southwell]] on 5 February 1884, along with the [[Archdeacon of Derby|Archdeaconry of Derby]].<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=25315 |date=5 February 1884 |page=527}}</ref> it is now one of the two archdeaconries in the renamed [[Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham]], the other being the [[Archdeacon of Newark|Archdeaconry of Newark]], which was formed by Order in Council on 11 June 1912 from the northern half of the Nottingham archdeaconry.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=28616 |date=11 June 1912 |pages=4209–4210}}</ref>
