Denis Ryan is the former Victorian Police officer who sought to bring the paedophile priest, Monsignor John Day to justice and break the nexus that extended police protection to the priest.

After his retirement from the Victorian Police Force, Denis became Shire President of Mildura in 1979. He established the first Ethnic Advisory Council in Victoria in 1977 and remained its chair until 1980.
