John Rawlet or Rawlett (27 March 1642 – 28 September 1686) was an English Anglican cleric, known as a preacher and writer of religious literature, and for his close sympathy with Presbyterians.

[2][3] After taking holy orders and engaging in clerical work in London, Rawlet was settled in the north before 1761, acting for a short while as chaplain to John Wilkins, the bishop of Chester from 1668.

[2] In 1670, Rawlet let Richard Baxter know that Wilkins had succeeded with John Tilsley, an ejected minister of local prominence, in efforts to have him conform to the Church of England.

He stayed in Newcastle in 1682 when he was offered the vicarage of Coleshill in Warwickshire, but recommended John Kettlewell for the vacancy; and remained in Newcastle, now with an added post at St Ann's as lecturer, or preacher, a post in the gift of the city's Common Council.
