James Joseph Hartley (June 26, 1858 – January 12, 1944) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as the fourth Bishop of Columbus from 1904 until his death over 39 years later. His was the longest episcopate in the diocese's history.
The eldest of six children, James Hartley was born in Davenport, Iowa, to Irish immigrants Edward Hartley and Catherine McManus Hartley. Shortly after his birth, Hartley and his family moved to Columbus, Ohio, where his parents had been married at St. Patrick Parish. His father kept a saloon on West Maple Street, and the family lived upstairs. His father also worked as a Columbus police officer for many years.
Hartley attended the parish school at St. Patrick, then entered St. Aloysius Seminary in Columbus. When that seminary closed, he attended Mount St. Mary's Seminary of the West in Norwood, Ohio, then Our Lady of Angels Seminary in Niagara, New York.
Hartley was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop John A. Watterson on July 10, 1882, in St. Joseph Cathedral. His first assignment was assistant pastor at St. Peter's Church in Steubenville, Ohio. In 1885, he was named pastor of Holy Name Parish in Steubenville. While pastor of Holy Name, Hartley organized a school, a high school, and had a new church built which later became the cathedral of the Diocese of Steubenville when the diocese was erected by Pope Pius XII on October 21, 1944 out of territory from the Diocese of Columbus.
