John Clayton Nienstedt (born March 18, 1947) is an American retired prelate of the Catholic Church who served as Archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis from 2008 until his resignation in 2015 due to his role in the clergy child sex abuse crisis.

Nienstedt previously served as Bishop of New Ulm from 2001 to 2007 and as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Detroit from 1996 to 2001. Nienstadt asked for early retirement as Archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis after a local prosecutor announced plans to indict the archdiocese due to its failure to protect children from sexual abuse by its priests.
