John Dalton (1814–1874) was an English Roman Catholic priest.
Dalton was of Irish parentage, and passed the early years of his life at Coventry.
He received his education at Sedgley Park School, and transferred in 1830 to St Mary's College, Oscott, where he was ordained priest.
After his return from Spain he settled at St. John's Maddermarket, Norwich, where he spent the remainder of his days, with the exception of a brief interval in 1866, when Archbishop Henry Manning sent him to Spain to collect subscriptions towards the erection in London of a cathedral in memory of Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman.
Dalton published translations from the Latin and Spanish of various devotional works, including several by Teresa of Avila.
