Edward McGlynn (September 27, 1837 – January 7, 1900) was an American Catholic priest and social reformer who was controversial in Catholic circles for his acceptance of public schools. He actively promoted the political goals of Henry George and the single-tax movement and campaigned for George when he ran for mayor in 1886. McGlynn was censured and excommunicated from 1887 until 1892 on charges of disobedience and the suspicion of socialism.
