John Joseph Maguire (December 11, 1904—July 6, 1989) was an American clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as auxiliary bishop (1959–65) and coadjutor archbishop (1965–1980) in the Archdiocese of New York.
John Maguire was born in New York City to James and Ellen Marie (née Shea) Maguire. He attended Regis High School and Cathedral College in his native city, and began his studies for the priesthood at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers. Two years later he was sent by Cardinal Patrick Joseph Hayes to continue his studies at the Pontifical North American College in Rome.
On December 22, 1928, Maguire was ordained a priest by Archbishop Giuseppe Palica in the Basilica of St. John Lateran. Upon his return to New York, his knowledge of Italian led to his first assignment as a curate at St. Patrick's Old Cathedral, which had a large Italian American congregation. He served as assistant chancellor of the Archdiocese of New York from 1940 to 1945, advancing to vice-chancellor in 1945 and chancellor in 1947. He was raised to the rank of a Domestic Prelate in 1948. In 1953, he became vicar general of the archdiocese, a post in which he remained until 1980.
