John Deely (born 1942) is Professor of Philosophy at the Center for Thomistic Studies of the University of St. Thomas (Houston). His main research concerns the role of semiosis (the action of signs) in mediating objects and things. He specifically investigates the manner in which experience itself is a dynamic structure (or web) woven of triadic relations (signs in the strict sense) whose elements or terms (representamens, significates and interpretants) interchange positions and roles over time in the spiral of semiosis. He is currently (2006-2007) Executive Director of the Semiotic Society of America.

His most recent publications include Four Ages of Understanding (Univ Toronto: 2001), What Distinguishes Human Understanding (St. Augustine's: 2002), and The Impact on Philosophy of Semiotics (St. Augustine's: 2003). A third edition of his classic Basics of Semiotics (Indiana Univ: 1990) was published (Univ Tartu: 2005) in Bulgarian, Italian and Estonian.
