The Bishop of Jaén is the prelate whose bishopric is the Diocese of Jaén, a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Granada in Andalusia, Spain. Its seats are the Cathedral of the Assumption in Jaén and the Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady in Baeza.[1] The Bishop of Jaén exercises his functions in the diocese, which encompasses the entire Province of Jaén with 97 municipalities across a total area of 13,489 km² and a population of 664,916 inhabitants as of 1 January 2013.[2][3] The patrons of the Diocese of Jaén are Saint Euphrasius and Our Lady of Cabeza.[4][5]

Since the diocese was established in 1249 under Pope Innocent IV, a total of 70 bishops have served. The first was Pedro Martínez, who succeeded Friar Domingo de Soria at the Baeza seat.[6] Ferdinand III from Córdoba issued a privilege dated 6 March 1249 granting the title of Bishop of Jaén, confirmed by Innocent IV with a papal bull on 14 May 1249.[7][8] Currently, Sebastián Chico Martínez is the bishop, appointed on 25 October 2021, with Ramón del Hoyo López and Amadeo Rodríguez Magro as emeritus bishops, since the former took office on 27 November 2021.

In the Concordat of 1851, the desire for diocesan demarcation was expressed, but it was not until 1873 that the special jurisdictions of the Abbey of Alcalá la Real and the Vicariates of the Military Orders were suppressed. Following state provisions, Pope Pius IX, through apostolic letters, united the Abbey of Alcalá and the vicariates of Segura, Beas, and Martos to the Diocese of Jaén on 14 July 1873.[9] As a result, in 1893, Bishop Manuel María León González y Sánchez territorially reorganized the diocese,[10] except for the Adelantamiento de Cazorla, which remained under the Archdiocese of Toledo until 1954, when Pope Pius XII decreed its annexation to the Diocese of Jaén through the decree Maiori animarum bono of the Consistorial Congregation on 23 April 1954.[11][12]

During that time, the generous prelate greatly contributed to the embellishment of his metropolitan see, funding valuable works such as the retable of Saint Euphrasius and the Tabernacle of the main altar. The discovery of Don Agustín Rubín de Ceballos's will reveals that he also bequeathed to the Jaén Cathedral not only his library but also a valuable Toledan Mozarabic Missal.
