John Francis Dockweiler (September 19, 1895 – January 31, 1943) was an American lawyer and politician who served three terms as a U.S. Representative from California from 1933 to 1939.

As a youth, he tried his hand at acting and theatrical pursuits, but his career never gained momentum.

Dockweiler was elected as a Democrat to the Seventy-third, Seventy-fourth, and Seventy-fifth Congresses (March 4, 1933 – January 3, 1939).

In the general election, he was an unsuccessful Independent candidate for reelection to the Seventy-sixth Congress.
