John Rogers (January 11, 1630 – July 12, 1684) was an English Puritan minister and academic in early Colonial America.

from Harvard College which, only seven years earlier, in 1642, had graduated its first class of students.

Residing in Ipswich and, despite neither having been ordained as a minister or trained as a physician, Rogers practiced medicine and assisted in the ministry of his brother-in-law, local historian William Hubbard, who served as Ipswich pastor for over 50 years.

Puritan minister and author Cotton Mather, Rogers was "sweet-tempered...genuinely pious and a accomplished gentleman given to long winded daily prayers."

American historian Samuel Eliot Morison says that Rogers would have "made a successful president",[1] but he only held the position for two years, prior to his sudden death at the age of 54.
