John Hobart Caradoc, 2nd Baron Howden GCB KH (1799–1873), was Minister Plenipotentiary in the British Embassy at Madrid, Spain, 1850–1858.

John Hobart Caradoc was the son of General John Cradock, 1st Baron Howden, GCB (11 August 1759 – 26 July 1839), a British peer, (1st Baron Howden since 1819) in the Peerage of Ireland and since 1831 in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
