John Francis Hogan (1858–1918) was an Irish priest and educator, who served as President of St. Patrick's College, Maynooth from 1912 until 1918.

Born in County Clare in 1858, Hogan was educated in Ennis, before completing his studies at St. Sulpice, Paris and in the University of Freiburg.

In 1894 he succeeded Robert Browne (bishop), who had been appointed to Roman Catholic Diocese of Cloyne, as editor of the Irish Ecclesiastical Record.

Canon Hogan served as a member of the senate[3] and pro-vice chancellor of the newly constituted National University of Ireland.

In 2016 centenary events brought to light contemporary evidence of the attitude of both seminary staff and students to the Easter Rising.
