John Stockwood (died 1610) was an English clergyman, preacher, translator of Protestant texts and school-master.
He was from Kent, and was a pensioner of St John's College, Cambridge, when Queen Elizabeth visited the university in August 1564, matriculating on 4 October in that year, and admitted a scholar on the Lady Margaret's foundation on 10 November following.
He was appointed headmaster of Tonbridge School, Kent, by the Skinners' Company of London, a position he held from 1578 to 1588.
The records of the corporation of Gravesend show that on 30 August 1594 he received a contribution of forty shillings out of the stock of the chamber of that town, requested by Sir Robert Sidney.
In the dedication of that work to Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, he acknowledges his kindness in relieving his poverty and protecting him from antagonists.
