John Michael Sherlock (January 20, 1926 – August 12, 2019)^[1] was a Canadian bishop. He was the Roman Catholic Bishop of London, Ontario, from July 8, 1978 to April 27, 2002. He was born in Regina, Saskatchewan and raised in Brantford, Ontario. Second eldest of a family of eight, four of his five brothers also studied at the seminary. Two of them, Fr William Sherlock and Fr Philip Sherlock, were ordained priests.

Bishop Sherlock was ordained in 1950. He became the head of the Diocese of London in 1978 - a district that includes over 130 parishes from Windsor to Huron County, with approximately 440,000 parishioners. Bishop John Sherlock's tenure was riddled with clergy sexual abuse scandals, which shone a harsh spotlight on the prevalence of historical sexual abuse within the Diocese of London.^[2]
