John Turton (15 November 1735 – 14 April 1806) was an English physician.
Born in Staffordshire, Turton became the doctor of King George III of Great Britain and treated that monarch during bouts of his madness.
His heavily Grecian memorial tablet in St. Martin’s Church, Brasted, Kent, features Doric columns beside the inscription and a sarcophagus.
It was designed and carved by the renowned Sir Richard Westmacott, who also did within the same church a nearby memorial to Mary Turton (d.1810), which featured a "relief of a classically robed man leaning pensively on an altar ‘To Gratitude.’"[2]
