Ezra Healy (March 1790 - ?) was a circuit rider in the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Healy was born in Shoreham, Vermont. He grew up in Potsdam, New York. He was licensed to exhort in Madrid, New York in 1810. He began working as a local preacher in 1816. He was accepted on trial as a circuit rider by the Genesee conference in 1821, and assigned to the St. Lawrence circuit. In 1822, he was assigned to the Rideau circuit. While on the circuit, he received a letter from circuit rider Renaldo M. Everts, imploring him to organise a circuit around Morristown, Upper Canada. Healy headed south to the area, and organised a new circuit, which was named the Indian River circuit. The circuits saw a net increase of one hundred thirteen people. In 1823, he was assigned to the Rideau circuit, where he rode alongside Charles Wood.
