John Brayne (c. 1541 – June 1586) was a member of the Worshipful Company of Grocers. He built the Red Lion playhouse and financed with his brother-in-law James Burbage the building of the Theatre in Shoreditch in which he was to have had a half interest. He also leased the George Inn in Whitechapel with a friend Robert Miles. The latter two ventures particularly the financing of the Theatre bankrupted him and he fell out with both James Burbage and Robert Miles.
