Ole Tidemand (31 October 1710–9 January 1778) was a Norwegian theologian and priest. He served as a bishop of the Diocese of Bjørgvin from 1757 until 1762 and then Bishop of the Diocese of Christianssand from 1762 until 1778. Bishop Tidemand always had powerful friends in Copenhagen, the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway. Most notably, the Dowager Queen Juliana Maria was a supporter of his. Tidemand was a student and colleague of Bishop Erik Pontoppidan and a leader in the pietist movement in Norway.[1][2]
