Michael Neary (born 15 April 1946) is an Irish prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He is the current Archbishop of Tuam.
Michael Neary was born in Castlebar, County Mayo, and received his early education at St. Patrick's National School, Castlebar, and St. Jarlath's College, Tuam. He studied at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth and was ordained to the priesthood on 15 June 1971. Earning a doctorate in Divinity in 1975, he served as a curate in Belclare for one year before being appointed to the staff at the Presentation College, Headford.
From 1978 to 1981, he furthered his studies at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, earning a licentiate of Sacred Scripture; during that time he was also spiritual director at the Pontifical Irish College. On his return he joined the staff at Holy Rosary College, Mountbellew, and served as a curate in Moylough. In 1982 he was appointed lecturer in Sacred Scripture at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, becoming professor of New Testament in 1991 where he is remembered among students as a diligent and committed teacher if rather dull and stilted in his lecturing style.
