John James Joseph Monaghan (May 23, 1856 – January 7, 1935) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Wilmington from 1897 to 1925.
John Monaghan was born in Sumter, South Carolina, to Thomas and Margaret (née Bogan) Monaghan, who immigrated from Ireland in 1850. He graduated from St. Charles College at Ellicott City, Maryland, in 1876, and then studied theology at St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore. Returning to South Carolina, he was ordained to the priesthood on December 19, 1880. He first served as a curate at St. Joseph's Church and afterwards St. Patrick's, both in Charleston. He was pastor of St. Mary's in Greenville (1882–1887) and pro-rector of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist and chancellor of the Diocese of Charleston (1887–1888). From 1888 to 1897, he was assistant to the vicar general at St. Patrick's Church.
