Émile-Dostaler O'Leary (16 August 1908 – 18 April 1965) was a Canadian journalist and writer.
Émile-Dostaler O'Leary O'Leary was born in Berthierville, Quebec and attended the Collège Saint-Joseph in Berthierville before travelling to Belgium to study at the Petit Séminaire de Basse-Wavre and, later, the University of Burgundy (Dijon, France) and Université Libre de Bruxelles. He completed a B.Sc. degree in chemistry, physics, and mathematics at the Institut de chimie Meurice.
After returning from Europe, O'Leary completed an internship in the chemical industry from 1933 to 1937. He subsequently pursued journalism and joined La Patrie. He worked at La Patrie until 1957, when he became director of Air France's Department of External Relations—a position he held until 1958. In 1959, he began working as a correspondent for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Paris, where he also served as Canadian correspondent for several French language newspapers.
O'Leary was a Quebec nationalist and member of Jeune-Canada. With his brother Walter-Patrice, he co-founded the Young Patriots of French Canada (French: Jeunesses patriotes du Canada français) and the Knights of the Round Table of Canada (French: Chevaliers de la table ronde du Canada) in 1935, and the Cultural Union of Mexico–French Canada (French: Union culturelle Mexique-Canada français), which was later renamed the Union of Latin America (French: Union des Latins d'Amérique), in 1939.
