John Mulcaster Carrick (1833 – 22 September 1896) was an English Victorian painter, etcher, and illustrator.

He took his surname from his father, Thomas Heathfield Carrick and his middle name from his mothers born name.

[1] He exhibited a study at the British Institution and a view of Borrowdale at the Royal Academy in 1854 and two more in 1855 and in 1856 the influential critic John Ruskin commented on "The Village Postman".

This time his work, The Village Postman, was noticed by John Ruskin as containing "more than usual fidelity" and "immense labour".

The Atheneaum made no comment in 1859 but the following year they saw his picture of Nice in winter as a "delight [for] all lovers of nature".
