John VII of Hoya (died 11 June 1535, fell in battle near Assens on Funen in Denmark) was a German count and army commander in the service of Lübeck and Sweden.
On 15 January 1525, he married Margareta Eriksdotter Vasa, the widow of Joakim Brahe (d. 1520 during the Stockholm Bloodbath), and sister of the King Gustav I of Sweden.
In 1525, he was appointed governor of Vyborg and in the same year, he renounced his rights on Hoya, in favor of his brothers, in exchange for 16000 guilders.
John VII fell in that battle, as did many other noblemen, among them Nicholas of Tecklenburg,[1] the Burgrave of Dohna, and Gustav Trolle, the Bishop of Uppsala.
On 15 January 1525, he married Margareta Eriksdotter Vasa (d. 31 December 1536 in Tallinn).
