John Schiller Wold (August 31, 1916 – February 19, 2017) was an American business executive, philanthropist, World War II veteran, and Republican politician from Wyoming.

His father Peter Irving Wold was the chairman of the department of physics at Union College in Schenectady, New York.

In 1968, he narrowly defeated on-again, off-again Congressman William Henry Harrison in the Republican primary before winning a decisive general election victory.

Two years later, he gave up his House seat to run against incumbent Sen. Gale McGee again.He lost the race by 56% to 44% and returned to the private sector, but remained active as a Republican political donor.

The donation was dedicated to a new center with the mission of fighting the onset of adult blindness brought on by macular degeneration, a disease from which Wold had suffered for the last 20 years of his life.
