John Evelyn (3 October 1677 – 13 November 1702) was an English politician. A member of a prominent Surrey family, his career in Parliament was cut short after a few months by his premature death from smallpox. John was the eldest son of , of Godstone, and of his second wife Margaret Webb. He succeeded his father in the Godstone estate in 1699. On 5 May 1701, he obtained a marriage license with Ann Glynne, the daughter of John Glynne and granddaughter of the judge John Glynne, but the marriage does not appear ever to have been carried out.
