Brigadier-General John Pocock (died April 1732) was a British Army officer and a Colonel of the King's Regiment of Foot.
Pocock obtained a commission in a regiment of foot in June 1695, and having signalised himself in the wars of Queen Anne, he was promoted to the rank of colonel in the Army in 1707.
After the suppression of the rebellion of the Earl of Mar, this regiment was sent to Ireland, where it was disbanded in 1718.
On the expectation that Great Britain would become involved in a continental war, in 1727, he was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general.
