Naboth Manzongo (born 1984 or 1985)[1] is a Zimbabwean-born Canadian Anglican bishop. Since 2025, he has been the 14th bishop of the Diocese of Rupert's Land in the Anglican Church of Canada. First ordained as a priest in the Church of the Province of Central Africa, Manzongo migrated to Canada in 2018. Prior to his election as bishop, he was incumbent at Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Winnipeg.
Manzongo experienced a call to ministry at young age. He attended an Anglican school in which the routine was to pray the Daily Office; he was an altar server and eventually a lay reader in his secondary school years. By the time he completed secondary school, he was known to the bishop and being encouraged to pursue ordination.[2]
He received his BA and a master's degree from the University of Zimbabwe. Manzongo was ordained as a deacon in 2008 and as a priest in 2009 in the Anglican Diocese of Harare.[3]
