John Kodwo Amissah (November 27, 1922 – September 22, 1991)[1] was a Ghanaian prelate of the Catholic Church who served as Archbishop of Cape Coast from 1959 until his death.

His thesis at St. Peter's College in Rome was on a comparison between canon law and the native customs of marriage.

During the late 1950s, he also studied the native and controversial custom of pouring libations on important occasions.

Amissah explained that before Church leaders determine if this practice is good or bad, they must understand what villagers intend when they pour a libation.

He died at age 68 and is buried at the St. Francis de Sales Cathedral in Cape Coast, Ghana.
