The John Wickliffe was the first ship to arrive carrying Scottish settlers, including Otago settlement founder Captain William Cargill, in the city of Dunedin, New Zealand.

Departing with 97 passengers from Gravesend, near London, on 22 November 1847,[2] and from Portsmouth on 14 December 1847, she arrived at Port Chalmers on 23 March 1848.

Her sister ship, the Philip Laing, arrived three weeks later on 15 April.

One of the more prominent buildings in the Exchange area of downtown Dunedin is named John Wickliffe House in honour of the ship.
