John Willoughby Crawford QC (1817 – May 13, 1875) served as the third Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Canada from 1873 to 1875.

Born in 1817 in Manorhamilton, Country Leitrim, Ireland, the son of George Crawford, John Crawford came to Canada as a child when his family settled in Brockville, Ontario. He married Helen Sherwood of Toronto. A lawyer by profession, Crawford served as president of the Royal Canadian Bank and was solicitor for the Grand Trunk Railway. Crawford was member of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada for East Toronto from 1861 to 1863.
