Captain John Hutt (1746 – 30 June 1794) was an officer of the British Royal Navy who served with distinction during the American Revolutionary War and died in 1794 from severe wounds received during the battle of the Glorious First of June, the first major naval battle of the French Revolutionary Wars.

Hutt's ship, HMS Queen was heavily engaged in the action and in celebration of his career and death, a monument was raised to him and the other dead Royal Navy captains of the battle.

On 28 May 1781, during a concerted effort to seize St Lucia from the British by French admiral de Grasse's fleet, a boarding party overwhelmed Antigua at Dauphin Creek.

[1] In the summer of 1782, Hutt assumed command of the sloop Trimmer and after the peace, in 1783, he received promotion to post captain and took over the 20-gun Camilla.

[1] A few months later, Gardner's squadron was attached to the Channel Fleet and with that horse, under Admiral Lord Howe, Queen participated in the Glorious First of June.
