John Claymond (1468–1537) was the first President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
[1][2] Claymond was admitted to Magdalen College, Oxford, at the age of 16 in 1484, where he remained until his appointment as president in 1507.
In 1517, Bishop Richard Foxe appointed Claymond as the first President of his new foundation, Corpus Christi College, designed as a beacon of humanist studies.
While at Corpus, he also acted as the Public Reader in Humanity (Latin), in which role he wrote his most famous academic work, a commentary on Pliny the Elder in some 20 volumes, which was never published.
He was the dedicatee of Erasmus's work of 1526, an edition of Chrysostom's De fato et providentia Dei.
