John Richard Gordon Eastaugh was an Anglican bishop in the last third of the 20th century.
He was born on 11 March 1920 and educated at the University of Leeds and ordained in 1944. He was made a deacon on Trinity Sunday 1944 by Geoffrey Fisher, Bishop of London, and ordained a priest the next Michaelmas by Robert Moberly, Bishop of Stepney — both times at St Paul's Cathedral.
