Hugh Foliot (c. 1155–1234) was a medieval Bishop of Hereford. Related somehow to his predecessor at Hereford he served as a priest and papal judge as well as being an unsuccessful candidate as Bishop of St David’s in Wales. In 1219 he was appointed Bishop of Hereford. During his time in office he mostly attended to ecclesiastical duties but did occasionally serve as a royal administrator. He helped found a hospital and a priory and died in 1234 after a months-long illness.
