John Shanley (January 4, 1852 – July 16, 1909) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Fargo, North Dakota, from 1889 until his death in 1909.
John Shanley was born in Albion, New York, the youngest son of John and Nancy (née McClean) Shanley. At age 5 he and his family moved to Faribault, Minnesota, and soon afterward to St. Paul, where he received his early education, much of it from association with frontier priests who visited St. Paul during his service as a sanctuary boy at St. Paul Cathedral from 1858 to 1867. He was a student of noticeable ability at St. John's College in Collegeville, where was trained in the classics and graduated in 1869. Bishop Thomas Grace, O.P., then sent him to the College of Propaganda in Rome; Shanley made the journey with Rev. John Ireland (the future Archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis).
