John Stuart Mill, född 20 maj 1806 i , Islington, London, död 8 maj 1873 i Avignon, var en brittisk filosof och nationalekonom samt 1800-talets mest inflytelserika liberala ideolog. Anses ofta som grundaren av den moderna liberalismen, även om han själv inte verkar ha sett sig som detta, utan såg sin liberalism som en fortsättning på de tidigare utilitaristiska tankegångarna. John Stuart Mill var son till den skotske filosofen och nationalekonomen James Mill och gudfader till den kände filosofen och Nobelpristagaren Bertrand Russell. Han gifte sig med sin långvariga älskarinna och medarbetare Harriet Taylor Mill. Hans mest kända verk är Om friheten (1859), Om det representativa styrelseskicket (1861) och Förtrycket av kvinnorna (1869).
