John Baxter Kinne (December 14, 1877 – July 19, 1954) was a United States Army soldier who received the Medal of Honor for actions during the Philippine–American War.

During the Philippine–American War, Private Kinne was one of a hand-picked group of soldiers known as "Young's Scouts," tasked with being at the forefront of movement in Filipino-controlled areas.

As the Scouts approached the Cabon River to the southeast of San Isidro, they encountered a large enemy force entrenched on the opposite side.

In all, eleven members of Young's Scouts earned Medals of Honor in the three-day period.

Citation: With 21 other scouts charged across a burning bridge, under heavy fire, and completely routed 600 of the enemy who were entrenched in a strongly fortified position.
