Don John (foaled 1835) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for winning the classic St Leger Stakes in 1838. In a racing career which lasted from May 1837 until April 1839 he ran ten times and won nine races although three of his victories were walkovers when no rival appeared to oppose him. He was one of the leading British two-year-olds of 1837 when his three wins included the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster Racecourse.
