Dominic Mai Thanh Lương (born December 20, 1940) is a Vietnamese-born prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He was an auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Orange from 2003 to 2015.
Dominic Luong was born near Hanoi on December 20, 1940, the youngest of nine children. His father worked as a real estate notary. He received his early education at a French Vietnamese elementary school, and afterwards attended Holy Family Seminary High School. In 1954, he left home against his father's wishes to enter a seminary in Saigon. In 1956, he was sent by the Bishop of Da Nang to continue his studies in the United States, where he enrolled at a diocesan seminary in Buffalo, New York, two years later. He completed his philosophical and theological studies at St. Bernard's Seminary in Rochester.
Luong was ordained to the priesthood on May 21, 1966. Although he was ordained for the Diocese of Da Nang, the increasing violence of the Vietnam War prevented him from returning to his native country. He pursued postgraduate studies at Canisius College in Buffalo, where he earned a master of science degree in biology and psychology in 1967. He then served as a chaplain at a hospital in Buffalo until 1975, when he became a curate at St. Louis Church, also in Buffalo.
