Francis James Furey (February 22, 1905 – April 23, 1979) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of San Diego, California (1966-1969) and as Archbishop of San Antonio, Texas (1969-1979).
The eldest of five children, Francis Furey was born in Summit Hill, Pennsylvania, to John and Anna (née O'Donnell) Furey. After attending public schools in Coaldale, he graduated from St. Mary's High School in 1920 as valedictorian. He attended St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Overbrook for four years before continuing his studies in Rome at the Pontifical Roman Seminary, from where he received a Ph.D. (1926) and a S.T.D. (1930). He was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal Basilio Pompilj on March 15, 1930.
Following his return to Pennsylvania, he served as private secretary to Cardinal Dennis Joseph Dougherty, the Archbishop of Philadelphia, from 1930 to 1936. He was president of Immaculata College (1936–46) and rector of St. Charles Borromeo Seminary (1946–58). He was named a Domestic Prelate in 1947. Returning from academia, he became pastor of St. Helena's Church in Philadelphia in 1958.
