'''Conan''' was a medieval Bishop of Cornwall.

Conan was nominated by King Æthelstan.<ref name=Church211>Barlow ''English Church 100-1066'' p. 211</ref> He was consecrated between July 924 and 932. He died between 946 or 953 and November 955.<ref name=Handbook215>Fryde, et al. ''Handbook of British Chronology'' p. 215</ref>

However, in the view of historian D. P. Kirby, it was almost certainly in 936 that Æthelstan "established Bishop Conan at St. Germans".<ref>Kirby 'Hywel Dda: Anglophil?' p. 4 note 19</ref>
