The Reverend Archibald Campbell Knowles (1865–1951) was a prominent American Anglo-Catholic priest, author, and the long-serving rector of St. Alban's Church in Olney, Philadelphia. Born into a prominent Philadelphia family, he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1885 and spent a decade traveling Europe before pursuing Holy Orders without attending a formal seminary. The Practice of Religion: A Short Manual of Instructions and Devotions (1908) is his most enduring work.
