Julian Charles Porteous (born 5 June 1949) is the Catholic Archbishop of Hobart, Tasmania. He was previously Auxiliary Bishop of Sydney, Australia, Episcopal Vicar for Renewal and Evangelisation, and Titular Bishop of Urusi (2003–2013).[1]

Porteous was installed as Archbishop of Hobart on 17 September 2013.[2]

In 2015 Porteous distributed a booklet to 12,000 families with children in Catholic schools across Tasmania entitled “Don’t Mess With Marriage”. The booklet argued of gay men and women that "pretending that their relationships are ‘marriages’ is not fair or just to them." Porteous was subsequently referred to the Australian Anti-Discrimination Commissioner; however the complaint was withdrawn without a finding.[3]
