John Judge (1849 or 1850 – 7 October 1916) was a British trade unionist, who was prominent in the Leeds labour movement, and briefly served as president of his union.
Judge worked as a shoemaker, and by 1883 was secretary of the Leeds branch of the National Union of Boot and Shoe Rivetters and Finishers (NUBSRF).
That year, the union planned to require members to be paid for piece work, and to expel any who accepted day wages.
[4] Judge was a leading member of Leeds Trades Council, serving for a while as vice-president,[3] and represented it at the 1885 Industrial Remuneration Conference.
At the 1891 local elections, he put himself forward in North ward, but he withdrew after the Liberal Party candidate supported the trades council's programme.
