John Hopwood Mickey (September 30, 1845 – June 2, 1910) was an American banker and Republican politician who served as the 13th Governor of Nebraska from 1903 to 1907.

In 1863, he enlisted as a private in the Union Army, in Company D, 8th Iowa cavalry, and served until the close of the war.

He moved with his young bride and child to Polk County, Nebraska, arrived on September 3, 1868, and homesteaded.

During the financial stringency of 1893, when financial institutions throughout the country were threatened with disaster, Mr. Mickey's bank survived the storm and was the means of assisting many of the business houses and farmers of Polk county in maintaining such credit as enabled them to survive during the depressed times.

[3] During his tenure as governor, numerous pardons were granted; an improved state auditing system was initiated; and a direct primary law was promoted.

He was a lifelong supporter of the Temperance movement, and served as president of the Board of Trustees of Nebraska Wesleyan University.
