Colonel John Montgomerie (died 1731) was colonial governor of New York and New Jersey from 1728 to 1731.

His father, Francis Montgomerie, was a member of the Privy Council under William III and Mary II and Queen Anne, and lord of Castle Giffen in Beith.

When John Montgomerie married, his father gave him the estate at Hessilhead, which was auctioned off in 1722 to pay off accumulated debts.

The city appropriated a sum of £1,000 at the times which may have served as a bribe to various colonial officials, including Montgomerie.

His tenure in office saw the city's export exceed those of Boston and Philadelphia, which had until then been the major trade centers in the North American colonies.
