Paul John Hallinan (April 8, 1911 – March 27, 1968) was an American clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Charleston (1958–1962) and Archbishop of Atlanta (1962–1968). He was known as a champion of racial equality and liturgical reform.
Paul Edward Hallinan was born in Painesville, Ohio, to Clarence C. and Rose Jane (née Laracy) Hallinan. Both sets of his grandparents were from Ireland. From 1924 to 1928, he attended Cathedral Latin School in Cleveland, where he served as editor of the high school yearbook. He then studied at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, and there earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy in 1932. He again edited the yearbook while at Notre Dame, and worked for the Painesville Telegraph during his summer vacations. He made his theological studies at St. Mary's Seminary in Cleveland.
Hallinan was ordained to the priesthood on February 20, 1937. His first assignment was as a curate at St. Aloysius Church in Cleveland, where he remained for five years. In 1942, he became an Army chaplain with the 542nd Engineer Amphibian Regiment, serving in Australia, New Guinea, and the Philippines. Holding the rank of captain, he was wounded in action on Biak Island and received the Purple Heart in 1944.
