John "Vulture" Hopkins (c. 1663 – 25 April 1732) was a British merchant of London and a Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1710 to 1722.
Hopkins was a London merchant who was reputedly miserly and given to rapacious business practices.
[2] He had an undistinguished career in Parliament but amassed a small fortune by speculation in the South Sea Bubble and invested it in property over several counties.
On his death, unmarried, his properties were distributed amongst the male heirs of a distant relative.
