John Hutton (died 1712) was a Scottish physician and Member of Parliament. He was a native of Caerlaverock, Dumfriesshire, and in early life was a herd-boy to the local episcopalian minister, who ensured that he received a good education, studying medicine at Edinburgh and graduating M.D. at Padua. In 1695 he was awarded M.D. at Oxford and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society on 30 November 1697. When Queen Anne gained the throne in 1702 he continued as her first physician, but only for 6 months. He did however retain his post as physician-general of the Army until 1707.
