Sir John Deane (1583 – 17 February 1626) of Dyne's Hall in the parish of Great Maplestead in Essex, was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1621 to 1622.

[3] William Deane, "a younger son of Lancashire stock",[4] had been the steward and third husband of Anne Wentworth (1537–1580) (Lady Maltravers), one of the three daughters and co-heiresses of Sir John Wentworth of Gosfield Hall in Essex, and the widow successively of Sir Hugh Rich (a son of Richard Rich, 1st Baron Rich) and then of Henry FitzAlan, Lord Maltravers (1538–1556), son and heir apparent of Henry FitzAlan, 12th Earl of Arundel.

[6] Deane matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford on 24 October 1595, aged 12 and was awarded BA on 8 November 1600.

[7] Deane died at the age of about 42 and was interred in Great Maplestead Church,[7] where survives his mural monument with recumbent effigy dressed in full armour.

He is mentioned[8] on the inscribed monument of Sir Drue Drury in Riddlesworth Church, marshalled with Deane.
