John Peebles McClure (December 19, 1893 – February 8, 1956) was an American poet and one of the founding editors of The Double Dealer literary magazine.
His early style was influenced by William Blake, by English and Scottish ballads, and by Elizabeth lyric poetry.
H. L. Mencken, co-editor of Smart Set, considered McClure the "finest lyric poet" the nation had produced in fifty years.
McClure was one of the four founding editors of The Double Dealer, a New Orleans–based literary magazine that was an early champion of William Faulkner and that published many other notable American modernist writers.
McClure acted as a mentor to young James Feibleman: when Feibleman noted that "artists are not appreciated in America" so he might move to France, McClure suggested, "Maybe it is because prospective young writers like yourself don't remain here and help...If the artists don't hang around, how can they hope to be appreciated.
