John Harvie (1742 – February 6, 1807) was an American Founding Father, lawyer and builder from Virginia.

[14] After Governor Dunmore dissolved the House of Burgesses, West Augusta County voters elected Harvie as one of their two delegates to its successor, the five Virginia revolutionary conventions legislature in 1775 and 1776.

[15] The following year fellow legislators elected Harvie as one of Virginia's delegate to the Second Continental Congress.

While at the Continental Congress, Harvie was one of five Virginia delegates to sign the Articles of Confederation on July 9, 1778.

[12][18] In 1774, he was named as a commissioner to the Shawnee tribe to negotiate a peace treaty after the Battle of Point Pleasant.

[12] Harvie and Thomas Walker of Castle Hill were assigned as joint commissioners and given plenary powers to negotiate with Native Americans at Fort Pitt.

[12] Colonel Harvie[18] served as a purchasing agent and supply organizer for Virginia's militia and Continental Army units.

"[20] Based upon his influence, Harvie procured the establishment of the Prison Camp at The Barracks[11] that held 6,000 Hessian and British soldiers in January 1779.

It was compared to other stately manors, like Mount Vernon, and was said to be "an extremely handsome house, and of decidedly superior architecture, being beautifully proportioned".

[22] On January 24, 1782, an ad was published in the Virginia Gazette and American Advertiser about Jordan, one of his slaves who ran away.

[24] While he was inspecting the construction of a mansion being built by Benjamin Latrobe, Harvie fell from the roof and suffered injuries that resulted in his death.
