John of Beverley (died 7 May 721) was an English bishop active in the kingdom of Northumbria. He was the Bishop of Hexham and then the Bishop of York which was the most important religious designation in the area. He went on to found the town of Beverley by building the first structure there a monastery. John was associated with miracles during and after his lifetime and was canonised a saint by the Catholic Church in 1037.
