Father Hilary's Holiday is a 1965 novel by Scottish writer Bruce Marshall.

After thirty years in the priesthood, Father Hilary seizes the opportunity to attend a religious congress in South America.

Father Hilary's well earned holiday is to be spent at a sort of ecumenical conference convened by "el Libertator" the Generalissimo of Tomasia.

The result is a witty, pointed tale of humble but outspoken Franciscan friar and his wondrous escapades in the boiling maelstrom of a mythical Latin American dictatorship.
