John Thomas Blight FSA (27 October 1835 – 23 January 1911) was a Cornish archaeological artist born near Redruth in Cornwall, England, UK.

[1] His father, Robert, a teacher, moved the family to Penzance and introduced his sons to the study of nature, antiquities and folk lore.

By the age of 20, Blight had published a book[2] on the antiquities of Penwith and a large collection of drawings.

His descriptions and illustrations of them provide a most valuable source for archaeologists and local historians.
