John Small (August 27, 1746 – July 18, 1831) was a political figure in Upper Canada.

He came to Canada with John Graves Simcoe and built one of the first residential homes in the town of York (now Toronto).

His son Charles Coxwell Small expanded the home, which was later called Berkeley House.

He was charged with and acquitted of murder, even though the presiding judge, Henry Allcock, claimed to be a friend of White.

His younger son, Charles Coxwell Small, followed in his father's footsteps as Chief Clerk.
