The Bede Professor of Catholic Theology is a professorship or chair in the Department of Theology and Religion at Durham University. The chair is named after the Venerable Bede and is the first such post at a secular British University. The chair was established in 2008, following a benefaction of £2,000,000 from the Diocese of Hexham & Newcastle, Sisters of Mercy, Sisters of La Retraite and the Ballinger Charitable Trust.

The holder of the Bede chair acts as a theological advisor to the Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle and undertakes outreach work on behalf of the Diocese and thus one of the requirements of the post holder is to be a practicing Catholic.
