Nancy Ledins (born William F. Griglak; July 27, 1932 – July 18, 2017) was an American Roman Catholic priest who came out as a transgender woman. At the time of her transition she was still considered a priest even after having resigned from official church roles, due to her never being returned to lay status. In this capacity, she is considered by some to be the first official woman priest in the history of the Catholic Church and is the first openly transgender Catholic priest.
