* (pictured) Father Remington of ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'' is handsome... and ''knows'' it. He happily flirts back with the younger nuns, much to Sister Kate's chagrin. He's handsome enough that Rosette -- a [[NaughtyNuns nun]] herself and something of an adopted daughter to him -- has a crush on him, too.

* The Church of Violence in ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' acquires one of these in season 2: Ricardo aka Rico, the NaiveNewcomer who hangs out with [[NaughtyNuns Eda]] and [[TheyCallMeMisterTibbs gets called "jackass" for referring to her as "sis" intead of "Sister"]].

* ''Manga/TrinityBlood'' is full of them. Father Abel, Father Tres, Father Leon, Father Hugue, Brother Petro... even the Pope! [[http://media.photobucket.com/image/trinity%20blood%20anime%20tres%20abel%20hugue/ErchinEragon/Animes/Vampire%20Series/largeAnimePaperwallpapers_Trinity-B.jpg Observe here.]]
* Nicholas D. Wolfwood in ''Manga/{{Trigun}}''.
* Kirei Kotomine from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight.'' Well, as much as a [[PhraseCatcher fake priest]] can be anyways. He's rugged and well-built for a middle aged man, while his younger self in ''LightNovel/FateZero'' has a more traditional youthful handsomeness.

* Frau in ''Manga/ZeroSevenGhost''. And [[StoicSpectacles Castor]].
* Charley in ''Manga/{{Vassalord}}'', though [[BoysLove he gets it all the time from Rayflo]].
* Enrico Pucci from part 6 of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. His FanNickname is "Father Bootylicious".
* While not exactly priests, the Exorcists in ''Manga/DGrayMan'' could qualify.
* Ryoumei, from ''Yume Musubi, Koi Musubi''.

* A quote from the movie ''Film/RaisingHelen'':
-->'''Pastor Dan Parker''': I'm a sexy man of God, and I know it.
* The film ''Film/TheDevils'' is in part about sexual obsession, nuns, a priest and a walled town in France.
** Based partially on a real life event, poor guy.

* Philip from ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', complete with ShirtlessScene.
* Father Lucas Trevant from The Rite has ShirtlessScene shows his back

* Paul [=McGann=], who has his own personal EstrogenBrigade, played a vicar in ''Film/LesbianVampireKillers''.
* A 28 year old Creator/JeanPaulBelmondo in ''Film/LeonMorinPriest''. A young atheist woman confronts him. She ends up beaten by the [[http://media.paperblog.fr/i/135/1356077/beatrix-beck-auteure-leon-morin-pretre-est-mo-L-1.jpeg obvious power of faith (and a something else beyond)]]
* Camerlengo Patrick [=McKenna=] from ''Film/AngelsAndDemons''. Creator/EwanMcGregor makes a damn fine priest.
* Creator/GaelGarciaBernal's Father Amaro from ''Film/ElCrimenDelPadreAmaro'' (based on the Portuguese novel ''O Crime do Padre Amaro'').

* Creator/NathanFillion in ''Film/{{Dracula 2000}}''
* ''Film/{{Camila}}'': Father Ladislao is a young, dashing, handsome priest. Camila is smitten, and she's even more smitten when he reveals progressive political views similar to hers. Forbidden romance ensues.
* Montgomery Clift in Hitchcock's ''Film/IConfess''. The movie was a flop as a result of the controversy over the romantic themes in the film involving his character.
* Linus Roache in ''[[Film/{{Priest1994}} Priest]]'', playing gay Father Greg.
* Jason Scott Lee's [[BadassPreacher ass-kicking]], vampire-hunting and absolutely gorgeous Father Uffizi in ''Film/DraculaIIAscension'' and ''Film/DraculaIIILegacy''.
* Creator/EdwardNorton in as Father Brian in ''Film/KeepingTheFaith''; Brian's friend Anna {{Lampshades}} it.
-->'''Anna:''' I've seen the way women look at you, even though they know you're a priest....especially when they know you're a priest!
* In the film ''Film/{{Amen}}'', young Jesuit priest Riccardo Fontana, played by Mathieu Kassovitz, is quite a looker...
* Stephen Fermoyle from the film ''El cardenal'' has a ShirtlessScene.
* ''Parson Sue'' (1912). After the titular cleric arrives in a small [[TheWestern western]] town, the local young men are suddenly keen to attend church.
* In ''Film/YoungLadyChatterleyII'', Cynthia learns that her FirstLove Robert has joined the priesthood. She makes it her mission to get him to at least reconsider his vocation (although she does say she would not stand in his way if it really is his calling). One of her maids remarks that a man like that becoming a priest is a criminal waste.

* Gösta Berling in ''Gösta Berling's Saga'' is at one point this, at least at some points in the narrative. ([[ItsALongStory It's complicated]].)
* OlderThanPrint: There are at least a few examples of both types in ''Literature/TheDecameron''.
* Mentioned in ''Gargantua'': "The tower of a cloister makes the woman of the village more fertile."

* ''Literature/TheThornBirds'' -- Father Ralph de Bricassart is pretty much the trope codifier, if not the trope maker. To a lesser extent, [[spoiler: his and]] Meggie's son Dane was planning to follow in his footsteps.
* Father Dominic from ''The Mediator'' series by Meg Cabot is in his sixties, but Suze the heroine, frequently notices how handsome he must have been and actually still is "in that Sean Connery way".
* Julien Sorel, the AntiHero / VillainProtagonist of ''Literature/TheRedAndTheBlack''.
* There is a medieval (probably [[TheHighMiddleAges 12th century]]) Latin poem called the "[[Music/CarminaBurana Altercatio Phyllidis et Flora]]" about whether knights or priests make better lovers. Guess who wins?

* Medieval literature in general has tons of these -- in jealous husband/sexy adulterous wife stories, the wife often takes up with the local priest. HilarityEnsues, generally.

* In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' a minor character claims he used to be one of these, since a wandering priest can be quite exotic and exciting if you've never left your dad's cow farm.
* Emilio Sandoz in Mary Doria Russell's ''Literature/TheSparrow'' is a particularly sympathetic example.
* Father Lorenzo Quart in Arturo Pérez-Reverte's ''The Seville Communion''.

* Inverted in ''Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'': it's not that the priest is attractive, it's that he's desperately in love with Esmeralda.
* In Purple Hibiscus, this is how Father Amadi is described by Kambili. ''Very'' frequently. In '''lots''' of detail.
* The humorous book Growing Up Catholic calls this trope "Father Whatawaste."
* Creator/JaneAusten's six novels include 3 clergymen as the heroine's winning love interest:
** Henry Tilney in ''Literature/NorthangerAbbey''.
** Edward Ferrars in ''Literature/SenseAndSensibility''.
** Edmund Bertram in ''Literature/MansfieldPark''.
* Young naive Catholic curate Father Neil Boyd in the original novels for ''Series/BlessMeFather'' is this to the EstrogenBrigade in his parish. He develops a suspicion an older and more cynical priest is pimping him out to rich widows and garnering large donations to Church funds in return.

* Pastor Charles Jacobs of Creator/{{Stephen King}}'s ''Literature/{{Revival}}'' is noted as being quite handsome, to the point that every teenage girl in town has a crush on him. Unfortunately for them, he's HappilyMarried... until things start going downhill.
* Father Daniel Brophy in the ''Series/RizzoliAndIsles'' series, thus explaining Dr. Maura Isles' attraction to him.
* Adso of Melk in ''Literature/TheNameOfTheRose'' is a young virginal monk (played by Creator/ChristianSlater in the film) who becomes the target of a young beautiful peasant girl who proceeds to have sex with him, which affects him to the point where he starts having affections for her.
* ''LightNovel/AscendanceOfABookworm'': High Priest Ferdinand is quite the ChickMagnet among noblewomen. When he shows up in the Noble quarter, which he usually visits in "civilian" clothes, in his priest robes for the first time, it's treated as a big event.

* Father Vincent from ''VideoGame/SilentHill3'', depending on the player's fondness for slightly creepy, disheveled, lazy-eyed cult leaders.

* Teague Martin from ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' is an Overseer, which is the equivalent of a priest in that universe. He is noticeably better-looking than pretty much every other male character in the game.
* Sebastian Vael of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' is tanned, blue-eyed, lean and athletic with great cheekbones... and very devoted to the Chantry and his vows. A female Hawke can romance him, but their marriage stays a celibate one (unless he and Hawke are in a rivalry, in which case he stops being a [[SexyPriest Sexy Priest]] and vows to take back his throne of Starkhaven).
* ''Every one'' of the Lumen Sages in ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' is a young, handsome, muscular, charismatic, smooth-talking guy, and some of them radiate light. [[LightIsNotGood (and they're the bad guys, by the way)]]. In fact, to drive the point home, the BigBad of the game is named [[Myth/NorseMythology Father Balder.]]
* [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Kolyat]] from ''Videogame/MassEffect3'' is an ''alien'' priest, but he counts as one nonetheless. He looks ''exactly'' like his attractive father, [[{{MrFanservice}} Thane Krios]].
* The ''yōkai'' monk [[WarriorMonk Aobōzu]] in ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'' is a handsome MrFanservice {{Bishonen}} as well as a Buddhist priest.
* ''VideoGame/FarCry5'': Though nobody ever comments on it, [[BigBad Joseph Seed]] has a body of an Olympic swimmer and is frequently shirtless to show it off. Quite remarkable for someone to qualify as this as well as the SinisterMinister.
** On the heroes' side, [[BadassPreacher Pastor Jerome Jeffries]] has SexySpecs, a BadassBaritone, and at least one woman found him attractive, judging by that perfumed letter the player finds in his church.

* ''WebVideo/TheVelociPastor'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDNzzhCpqxA arguably counts.]]

* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'': While there are male priests of Shallya (the goddess of healing), they aren't allowed to stay for any length of time in a temple until they're well past their prime, specifically to avoid "broken hearts" (and other incidents involving young men and women cohabiting, as popular in-universe fiction is quite fond of telling).

* ''Series/TheMaryTylerMooreShow'' had an episode where Mary becomes friends with a handsome young priest, who announces he is quitting the priesthood. Mary thinks it's because of her, and tell him not to. He actually has deep theological reasons, and find the idea t5hat he would quit over Mary very funny and laughs so hard that she becomes quite insulted. [[/folder]]

* Ryoumei, from ''Yume Musubi, Koi Musubi''. [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yume_musubi_koi_musubi/v01/c001/10.html See here for reference.]] (Although that's when he's just a teenager.)

* Joaquin Phoenix as Abbe du Coulmier in ''Film/{{Quills}}''. Teaches Kate Winslet's character how to read and tries to "cure" the Marquis de Sade, both of whom obviously want to get into his frock.

* Young Jean-Paul Belmondo in ''Film/LeonMorinPriest''. A young atheist woman confronts him. She ends up beaten by the [[http://media.paperblog.fr/i/135/1356077/beatrix-beck-auteure-leon-morin-pretre-est-mo-L-1.jpeg obvious power of faith (and a something else beyond)]]

* Gael Garcia Bernal's Father Amaro from ''Film/ElCrimenDelPadreAmaro'' (based on the Portuguese novel ''O Crime do Padre Amaro'').
* Gabriel Byrne in ''Film/{{Stigmata}}''.

* Genjyo Sanzo of ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}'' certainly qualifies. As does Hazel, who even thinks of himself as one, going so far as to suggest that [[HoYay Sanzo is attracted to him]].

-->"What you must do is rub your fingers against a woman's [[CountryMatters coney]] then on the noose. The smell attracts them like flies to honey. Only don't go telling people where you learned that."\\

''Coke light... have a great break'': This reportedly banned [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrIJ26uET0A television ad]] combines the trope with factor-11 voyeurism (make sure to view until the very end).

* Monsignor Martinez in "Vaya Con Dios" the [[ShowWithinAShow Telenovela]] on ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill''.

* Creator/AndrewScott's priest in the second season of ''Series/{{Fleabag}}'' has a WillTheyOrWontThey dynamic with [[LoveableSexManiac Fleabag.]] And because almost no one on the show is referred to by name besides the main character's sister, she does refer to him extremely [[BreakingTheFourthWall frequently in her narration]] as "Hot Priest." [[spoiler:They eventually have sex]].

* ''LightNovel/AscendanceOfABookworm'': High Priest Ferdinand is quite the ChickMagnet among noblewomen. When he shows up in the Noble quarter, which he usually visits in "civilian" clothes, in his priest robes for the first time, it's treated as big event.

* And then there was Joyce [=McKinney=], a woman so taken with handsome Mormon missionary Kirk Anderson that she [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_sex_in_chains_case abducted and raped him.]]

* Mariano Moreno studied to be a priest, but fell in love with a woman named Guadalupe Cuenca, so he dropped the priesthood (he had not been ordained yet, nor made any oath) and became a lawyer instead.

* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick'' did a video of the Top Ten "Hottest" Animated Guys according to a poll she took from the ladies on her Twitter and Facebook page. Claude Frollo from ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' made that list. Despite not being a priest in [[DecompositeCharacter that particular version]], he's close enough to a clergyman in context to qualify.
