John de Talaru (died 1393) was a cardinal and archbishop of Lyon.
He managed to climb to the deanery of this institution, before being elected bishop on July 29, 1375.
In 1376, he held a local synod and 1378 he toured his diocese taking stock of the holding of all the places of worship, and priests.
[7] He is remembered in his diocese as bringing "a spirit of peace, a desire to bring the pastoral spirit and great libéralité"[8] He was made cardinal in 1389 by the anti-pope Clement VII at the request of King Charles VI of France, but he was never ordained.
Later the same year, he gave up his seat to Philip Thurey.
