We present results for the renormalization of gauge invariant 
nonlocal fermion operators 
which contain a Wilson line, to one loop level in lattice perturbation theory. Our calculations have 
been performed for Wilson/clover fermions and a wide class of Symanzik improved gluon actions.



The extended nature of such `long-link' operators results in a nontrivial renormalization, 
including contributions which diverge linearly as well as logarithmically 
with the lattice spacing, along with additional finite factors. 

 Broadening our perturbative setup, we
 present nonperturbative prescriptions to extract the linearly divergent contributions.
