Gommar A. DePauw (11 October 1918 – 6 May 2005) was a Belgian-American traditionalist Catholic priest and founder of an organization that he called the Catholic Traditionalist Movement.

Sociologist and anthropologist of religion Michael W. Cuneo called dePauw, "the first Catholic traditionalist/separatist of any prominence in the United States", because of his early opposition to post-Vatican II changes in Catholic liturgy and practice.
