Earl Alfred Boyea Jr. (born April 10, 1951) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He is Bishop of Lansing.
Earl Boyea was born in Pontiac, Michigan, the eldest of the ten children of Earl and Helen Boyea, Sr. He was raised in Waterford and attended church and school at Our Lady of the Lakes as a child. He studied at Sacred Heart Seminary High School from 1965 to 1973, obtaining his bachelor's degree in history, then he traveled to Rome, where he studied at the Pontifical North American College and Pontifical Gregorian University (1973–1977), earning his bachelor's degree in sacred theology from the latter in 1976.
He was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Joseph Imesch on May 20, 1978, while serving as a deacon at St. Benedict Church in Pontiac. Boyea then served as associate pastor of St. Michael the Archangel Parish in Monroe until 1979, and returned to the Gregorian in Rome, from where he obtained his Licentiate in Sacred Theology in 1980, with a thesis entitled: "Christology in Galatians". Upon his return to the United States, Boyea was associate pastor of St. Timothy Parish in Trenton until 1984, whence he earned his master's in American history from Wayne State University, with a thesis entitled: "John Samuel Foley, Third Bishop of Detroit: His Ecclesiastical Conflicts in the Diocese of Detroit, 1888–1900".
