John Albert Douglas (21 September 1868 – 3 July 1956) was a priest of the Church of England and a major figure in Anglican–Orthodox relations in the 20th century.
Douglas was ordained in 1894 in Newark, Nottinghamshire.
The Society of the Faith was founded in August 1905 by Douglas and his brother, the Revd Charles Edward Douglas, both notable figures in the Anglo-Catholic revival. The object of the society was to create: "an Association of Christians in communion with the See of Canterbury for mutual assistance in the work of Christ's Church and for the furtherance of such charitable undertakings as may from time to time be decided upon, more especially for the popularisation of the Catholic faith."The Society of the Faith 1905–1955 – a Commemorative tribute to the Society and its Founders July 1955 Faith Press Ltd
