司祷员（Lay Reader；亦称司祷；原称为Reader/Lector）是属小圣品的成员之一。圣公会曾于宗教改革时废除此职，但英国圣公会于18世纪末重新制定规条恢复司祷员一职。

现在的司祷员全部均为义务性质，需接受教区的神学训练经过考核并获主教所发的许可证后，方可于牧区协助圣品主持圣礼，宣讲福音,牧养会众，教导《圣经》及于讲坛上讲道。司祷员并可于圣礼时穿上黑长衫白袍或白长衫，并戴上蓝色圣带。

A lay reader (in some jurisdictions simply reader) or licensed lay minister (LLM) is a layperson authorized by a bishop in the Anglican Communion to lead certain services of worship or lead certain parts of a service. They are members of the congregation permitted to preach and preside at some services, but not called to full-time ministry.
