Joseph Sadoc Alemany (1814-1888) was a Spanish Roman Catholic archbishop and missionary. He served as the first Bishop of Monterey (California) from 1850 until 1853, and as the first Archbishop of San Francisco from 1853 until 1884. Alemany founded Saint Mary's College in San Francisco in 1863.

Alemany returned to Spain in 1885 and died there three years later. In 1965 his body was brought back to San Francisco and entombed in Colma, California.
