Beilby Porteus (citato talvolta anche come Porteous; York, 8 maggio 1731 – Londra, 13 maggio 1809) è stato un vescovo anglicano inglese, prima di Chester e poi di Londra, riformatore della chiesa d'Inghilterra e promotore dell'abolizionismo nel Regno Unito. Fu il primo uomo di potere anglicano a sfidare seriamente la posizione della chiesa sulla schiavitù.
