The list of St. John's Seminary (California) people is a compilation of lists of notable alumni, faculty, and current students of St. John's Seminary in Camarillo, California, United States. St. John's Seminary grants graduate degrees for seminarians preparing for the priesthood, as well as a graduate degree for lay persons interested in pastoral ministry. The St. John's Seminary College was the undergraduate division of the seminary before it closed in the early 21st century. The table of notable alumni lists the date of graduation from St. John's college, seminary, or both, if applicable.
