Ronald Michael Gilmore (born April 23, 1942) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He was the fifth Bishop of Dodge City.
Ronald Gilmore was born in Pittsburg, Kansas, to Leo and Maxine (née McColm) Gilmore. He attended St. Mary's High School from 1956 to 1959, and graduated in 1960 from St. John Vianney High School in Omaha, Nebraska.
From 1960 to 1962, Gilmore studied at Immaculate Conception Seminary in Conception, Missouri. He then worked for Catholic Social Service in Wichita in the Cuban Refugee Program until 1963, working with approximately 20 Cuban boys at what was then called Mariana House. He also attended the University of Ottawa in Canada (1963-1969), from where he obtained a B.A. in Philosophy and degrees in theology.
