Jeffrey Neil Steenson PA (born April 1, 1952) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as the first ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter, which provides for groups of former Anglicans who have become Roman Catholics. Steenson served as the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande from 2005 until 2007, when he resigned and entered full communion with the Roman Catholic Church.
Steenson is a scholar of patristics. He received a Doctor of Philosophy degree from Christ Church, Oxford, with a 1983 dissertation entitled "Basil of Ancyra and the Course of Nicene Orthodoxy". His earlier degrees are Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School (1978) in New Testament patristics, Master of Arts from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (1976) in church history, and Bachelor of Arts from Trinity International University (1974) in history.
Steenson was ordained as a priest of The Episcopal Church on June 29, 1980, and became a curate at All Saints' Church in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, and later as the rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Rosemont and St. Andrew's Church in Fort Worth, Texas.
