John Vartan (February 8, 1945 – December 15, 2004) was an American entrepreneur and educational philanthropist in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area where he lived.
Vartan's crowning achievement was perhaps his re-establishment of Harrisburg's "Tuesday Club", founded by state Senator Harvey Taylor, in the 1950s.
Even though his cancer made it difficult for him to talk and to be understood at times, he continued with his business expansion and civic leadership.
Vartan's faith in the American legal process made him responsive to suggestions that Harrisburg needed a new law school.
Vartan's educational philanthropy also included the funding of a Harrisburg public school program of after-school tutoring.
