Fr. Mitchell "Mitch" Pacwa ,(born 1949) S.J., is a Jesuit priest. He is bi-ritual, meaning that he can celebrate liturgy in both the Roman and Maronite rites. He is President and Founder of Ignatius Productions. He has taught at the University of Dallas and Loyola University Chicago and is now the Senior Fellow of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology.

Fr. Pacwa's father was opposed to his becoming a priest and especially against his becoming a Jesuit. Fr. Pacwa's father threatened to write him out of his will if he became a priest and did so on the day Fr. Pacwa celebrated his first Mass.

Fr. Pacwa earned his Ph.D. in Old Testament from Vanderbilt University. He also holds a Master of Divinity and S.T.B. from the Jesuit School of Theology at Loyola University. He is an accomplished linguist speaking several ancient languages, including Latin, Koine Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Ugaritic, as well as the modern languages of German, Spanish, Polish, Hebrew, Arabic, French, and Italian.

Fr. Pacwa has mostly earned fame by being host of many TV shows. He gave the 2008 commencement address at the Augustine Institute in Denver.
