Michael Fors Olson (born June 29, 1966) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church.

[1] After finishing his early studies, Olson traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend the Catholic University of America.

He left St. Mary's in 2006 after Bishop Kevin William Vann appointed Olson as vicar general of the diocese.

[4] At the invitation of Bishop Olson, the Cristo Rey network of Catholic college preparatory high schools opened a campus in Fort Worth in 2018.

In April 2023, Olson visited the Most Holy Trinity Monastery in Arlington, Texas, to investigate allegations that Reverend Mother Teresa Agnes Gerlach had violated her vow of chastity with a priest from another diocese.

After the investigation, Gerlach filed civil litigation against Olson,[7] but a judge dismissed the case in June 2023.

[9] The Arlington Carmel rejected this decree, and on September 14, 2024, it announced that the monastery had entered association with the Society of St. Pius X. Bishop Olson instructed Catholics to not attend mass at or provide support to Arlington Carmel, citing the monastery's "scandalous disobedience and disunity".
