John Lewis Wolfe (10 April 1798 - 6 October 1881) was an English architect, artist and stockbroker.
He was the eldest of two sons born to Lewis Wolfe (1761–1838), comptroller of HM Stationery Office, and his wife Ann (née Porter, 1773–1830).
While in Rome, he met Charles Barry, starting a life-long friendship while measuring and drawing Italian Renaissance buildings.
Wolfe accompanied Barry to Florence and Veneto, then travelled to Greece and Sicily with architects Thomas Leverton Donaldson and W. W. Jenkins, before returning to London in 1822.
[2] However, he retained his interest in architecture, mentoring Barry's practice and offering frequent design advice.
