John C. Rao (born 1951) is a former associate professor of history at St. John's University,[1] director of the Roman Forum/Dietrich von Hildebrand Institute, and former president of Una Voce America.[2]

In 1977 Rao received his D.Phil. in Modern European History from Oxford University. Works include Americanism and the Collapse of the Church in the United States,[3] Removing the Blindfold,[4] and Periphery.[5] He was a central interview subject for a PBS documentary on the annual Paris-Chartres Pilgrimage by traditionalist Catholics from around the world.[6]

Rao has led the Roman Forum's annual symposium at Lake Garda.[7]

Rao is a frequent contributor to The Remnant, a traditionalist Catholic biweekly. Rao is known for writing his columns from Rocco's Cafe, an Italian pastry shop in Greenwich Village Manhattan. As a traditionalist Catholic, he is a strong critic of neoconservatism in both politics and the Church.[citation needed]

In 2017, he signed a document along with a number of other clergy and academics labeled as a "Filial Correction" of Pope Francis.[8]
