Guy A. Sansaricq (October 6, 1934 – August 21, 2021) was a Haitian-American Catholic prelate who served as auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn from 2006 to 2010. He headed the Office of the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Refugees of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops from 1988 to 2021.
He was the first Haitian-born Catholic bishop in the United States. He was an emblematic figure in advocating the rights of Haitian immigrants and the undocumented, as well as an ardent opponent of the Duvalier dictatorship.
