Gerald Shaughnessy, S.M. (May 19, 1887 – May 18, 1950) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Seattle from 1933 until his death in 1950.
Gerald Shaughnessy was born in Everett, Massachusetts, to Joseph and Margarett (née Colwell) Shaughnessy. In 1909 he graduated from Boston College, where he had won the Cronin scholarship. He then taught at private and public schools in Maryland, Montana and Utah until 1916, when he entered the Society of Mary (more commonly known as the Marists). He studied theology at the Marist College and the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., earning a Bachelor of Sacred Theology in 1920. He was ordained to the priesthood on June 20, 1920. He became an official of the Apostolic Delegation in 1919. Returning to the Marist College, he there served as professor of moral theology from 1920 to 1933. During this period, he was also a professor at Notre Dame Seminary (1923–1924) and at Rome and Lyons (1930–1931). He became novice master at the Marist College in 1932.
