The Rt Rev John Dacre Vincent MA MC and bar[1] (1 January 1894 – 19 May 1960) was the Bishop of Damaraland,[2] Namibia from 1952 to 1960.[3]

He was born on 1 January 1894, educated at Marlborough and St John's College, Oxford,[4] and ordained in 1921[5] after World War I service with the Devonshire Regiment.[6] He began his ecclesiastical career with a curacy at Gillingham, Dorset and was then a Minor Canon at Bloemfontein Cathedral. After this he was Vicar of Longbridge Deverill in Wiltshire[7] until 1937 when he returned to Bloemfontein as its Archdeacon, a position he held until his elevation to the episcopate.
