James Farl Powers (July 8, 1917 – June 12, 1999) was an American novelist and short-story writer who often drew his inspiration from developments in the Catholic Church, and was known for his studies of Catholic priests in the Midwest.
Although not a priest himself, he is known for having captured a "clerical idiom" in postwar North America.
