John Beloff (19 April 1920 – 1 June 2006) was an English psychology professor at Edinburgh University and parapsychologist.

Shortly after graduation he married Halla Parker, a fellow student of psychology who was ten years younger.

[3] Beloff had been interested in parapsychology from an early age and served as president of the Society for Psychical Research from 1974 to 1976.

[4][5][6] Beloff's belief in paranormal powers and parapsychological statements were heavily criticized by psychologist Nicholas Humphrey for being based on wishful thinking.

Beloff had endorsed levitations, psychic surgery, the "thoughtographs" of Ted Serios and various spiritualist mediums as genuine evidence for the paranormal.
