John Fowler (by 1520 – c. 1575), of London, was an English Member of Parliament and courtier.
He was a Member of Parliament (MP) for New Shoreham in March 1553, Hythe in 1555, Winchelsea in 1558, Weymouth in 1559, and West Looe in 1563.
Fowler was a groom of the privy chamber to Edward VI. The Lord Protector, Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset rewarded him with the post of Keeper of Petworth or Woolavington Park in Sussex. Fowler was heavily involved in helping Thomas Seymour, 1st Baron Seymour of Sudeley attempt to influence Edward VI, who was Seymour's nephew. Fowler wrote to Seymour with news of the court in July 1548. Edward VI was very interested in the progress of the siege of Haddington in Scotland and eagerly awaited letters forwarded by Somerset.
