"Death Comes for the Archbishop" is a novel by Willa Cather, first published in 1927. Set in the 19th century, it tells the story of two French Catholic missionaries, Father Jean Marie Latour and Father Joseph Vaillant, in the American Southwest, specifically in New Mexico. The novel is a fictionalized account of the life of Archbishop Jean-Baptiste Lamy and his associate, Joseph Projectus Machebeuf.

The narrative is less about a conventional plot and more a series of vignettes, illustrating the challenges and experiences of the two priests as they establish a diocese, encounter diverse cultures, and navigate the rugged landscape. The novel explores themes of faith, friendship, and the clash of cultures, portraying the beauty and hardship of both the physical and spiritual landscapes.

Cather's writing style in this novel is noted for its clarity and descriptive power, capturing the vast, stark beauty of the American Southwest. The book, while grounded in historical facts, uses the characters’ experiences to delve into deeper, timeless questions about life, belief, and the nature of service. It is considered one of Cather's masterpieces and a significant work in American literature.
