Sir John Dugdale (1 June 1628 – 31 August 1700) was a herald at the College of Arms in the City of London and was the son of William Dugdale (1605-1686), the historian and Garter Principal King of Arms herald.
He was born on 1 June 1628 at Blyth Hall, Shustoke, Warwickshire and was educated at the grammar schools in Sutton Coldfield and Coleshill.
From the autumn of 1684 his father no longer travelled to London in the winter and a formal deputation was obtained for John to act as Garter King of Arms.
He hoped to succeed his father, who died in February 1686, but the influence of his friends was only sufficient to gain him the post of Norroy King of Arms.
In the 1690s, he hoped to resign in favour of Gregory King, but was refused permission and died in office in 1700.
