Jeremiah James Harty (November 5, 1853 – October 29, 1927) was an American prelate of the Catholic Church. He served as the 26th Archbishop of Manila in the Philippines from 1903 to 1916 before returning to the United States, where he served as Archbishop of Omaha from 1916 to 1927.
Jeremiah Harty was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to Andrew and Julia (née Murphy) Harty, who were Irish immigrants. He was educated by the Christian Brothers in grade school and by the Jesuits in high school. He attended St. Louis University, from where he graduated in 1872. He studied theology at St. Vincent's College in Cape Girardeau.
Harty was ordained to the priesthood by Archbishop Patrick Ryan on April 28, 1878. His first assignment was as assistant pastor of St. Lawrence O'Toole Church in St. Louis. He then served at St. Bridget Church, where he remained until he became founding pastor of St. Leo Church in 1888.
On June 6, 1903, Harty was appointed Archbishop of Manila in the Philippines by Pope Leo XIII. He was the first American to be named to that position. He received his episcopal consecration on the following August 15 from Cardinal Francesco Satolli, with Archbishops Diomede Panici and Amilcare Tonietti serving as co-consecrators, in Rome. After his term in Manila he was appointed as the Bishop of Omaha, in Nebraska.
