Stephen Langton (c. 1150 – 9 July 1228) was Archbishop of Canterbury between 1207 and his death in 1228 and is a central figure in the dispute between King John of England and Pope Innocent III, which is a contributing factor to the crisis that leads to the issuing of Magna Carta in 1215.

He is also credited with having divided the Bible into the standard modern arrangement of chapters used today.
