John Wilks (1776 – 25 August 1854) was an English Whig Party politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1830 to 1837.
He was for many years the vestry clerk and chief manager of the parochial affairs of St Luke's Old Street.
In one "His conduct at the Tabernacle, in Moorfields, completely destroyed the small remains of confidence which they were disposed to repose in him", and in the other "Mr. Wilks has given no proof, as a manager, of zeal for the glory of God in the place, or of interest in the prosperity of its institutions:—Resolved,—That, in the judgment of this Meeting, John Wilks, Esq.
M.P., for the above and other reasons, is not a fit and proper person to act as an office-bearer in the Church of God".
