John Dubois (French: Jean Dubois) (August 24, 1764–December 20, 1842) was a French-born prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as the third bishop of the Diocese of New York from 1826 until his death in 1842.[1]

Dubois was the first bishop of New York who was not Irish-born and, as of 2024, remains the only bishop or archbishop of New York of non-Irish ancestry.
