John Claude Nattes (c.1765, London–1839, Dover) was a watercolourist and topographical draughtsman of either French or English origin.
In 1789 Sir Joseph Banks commissioned him to record the buildings of Lincolnshire and this resulted in more than 700 drawings and watercolours, made between 1789 and 1797, which are now preserved in Lincoln Central Library.

This later date is supported by his apparently being a witness at the wedding of Robert Holdsworth Carew Hunt and Bridget Margaret Barber on 16 June 1836 at Holy Trinity Church, Clapham.
[citation needed] Their son Charles Claude Nattes, born 13 January 1794, was christened in St Andrew, Holborn.
