Bishop Hatfield's Survey: A Record of the Possessions of the See of Durham, Made by Order of Thomas de Hatfield is a historical book written by William Greenwell.

The book includes detailed descriptions of the lands, buildings, and other properties owned by the See, as well as information on the tenants and their obligations. The survey also provides insights into the social and economic conditions of the region during this period.
