Nigel (sometimes Nigel Poor or Nigel of Ely; c. 1100 – 1169) was an Anglo-Norman Bishop of Ely. He came from an ecclesiastical family; his uncle Roger of Salisbury was a bishop and government minister for King Henry I and other relatives also held offices in the English Church and government. Nigel owed his advancement to his uncle as did Nigel’s probable brother Alexander who like Nigel was advanced to episcopal status.
