Emmet Michael Walsh (March 6, 1892 – March 16, 1968) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Charleston, South Carolina (1927–1949) and Bishop of Youngstown, Ohio (1952–1968).
The eighth of eleven children, Emmet Walsh was born in Beaufort, South Carolina, to Thomas and Wilhelmenia (née Jennerman) Walsh. In 1906 he and his family moved to Savannah, Georgia. After graduating from Savannah High School in 1910, he studied for the priesthood at St. Bernard's Seminary in Rochester, New York. He returned to Georgia, where he was ordained a priest by Bishop Benjamin Joseph Keiley on January 15, 1916.
Walsh then served as a curate at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Atlanta until 1917, when he became pastor of St. Teresa's Church in Albany. He was also charged with the missions in Southwest Georgia, giving him a jurisdiction of 1,000 Catholics over 16,000 square miles. He was named pastor of St. Patrick's Church at Savannah in 1921, and returned to Immaculate Conception Church at Atlanta as pastor in 1923.
