John Christopher Cutler (February 5, 1846 – July 30, 1928) was an American politician and the second governor of the State of Utah.

Cutler's family emigrated to Utah Territory in 1864 after becoming members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Cutler was active in politics and government as a Republican and served as Salt Lake County Clerk from 1884 to 1890.

In 1904 Wells was unable to attract support for his planned candidacy for U.S. Senate, so he ran for reelection as governor.

He announced his candidacy for reelection in 1908, but withdrew prior to the Republican convention when he lost the support of Federal Bunch, which was led by Senator Reed Smoot.
