Robert Neville (1408 – 1457) was a Bishop of Salisbury and a Bishop of Durham. He was also a Provost of Beverley. He was born at Raby Castle. His father was Ralph Neville and his mother was Joan Beaufort, daughter of John of Gaunt. He was thus a highly-placed member of the English aristocracy

He was nominated Bishop of Salisbury on July 9, 1427, and consecrated on October 26, 1427. He was then translated to Durham on January 27, 1438.Fryde "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 271]
