John F. O'Malley (1885-c.1950) was an American architect from Rhode Island.
John F. O'Malley was born in 1885. His training is unknown, but he opened his office at 75 Westminster Street in Providence around 1910. In 1915 he was briefly associated with Harry A. Lewis, who would later open an office in the same building. In 1919, He moved his office to Pawtucket's Fanning Building, which he had designed several years prior. At this time he also moved his family to Central Falls. From 1923 until 1931, he was associated with Frank E. Fitzsimmons in the firm of the O'Malley-Fitzsimmons Company. From then until the end of his career, O'Malley practiced alone. He died circa 1950.
As a major associate of Pawtucket mayor Thomas P. McCoy, O'Malley designed many of Pawtucket's civic buildings of the 1930s, including City Hall. Several of his later works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
