John Rickingale D.D. also known as John de Rickingale (died 1429) was a medieval Bishop of Chichester, Master of Gonville Hall, Cambridge, Chancellor of the University of Cambridge[1][2] and Chancellor of York Minster.[3]

Rickingale was the last rector of Hemingbrough rectory before Prior John Wessington converted it into a collegiate church.[4] This happened when Rickingale was nominated as bishop of Chichester on 27 February 1426. The nomination was through the interest of John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford, to whom he was confessor.[5] He was consecrated in Mortlake parish church on 30[1] or 3 June 1426.[3] He was an early humanist.[1]
