John de Montacute (c. 1330 – c. 1390) was a 14th-century English nobleman and loyal servant of King Edward III.

He was the son of William Montagu, 1st Earl of Salisbury by his wife Catherine Grandison, and younger brother of William de Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury (1328–1397).

[1] Jean Froissart named "Lord John Mountacute" as one of the participants with King Edward III at the Siege of Calais in 1349.

Their children included John Montacute, 3rd Earl of Salisbury (c. 1350 – 1400); Eleanor Montacute, who married John Dinham (1359–1428);[3] Thomas Montagu, Dean of Salisbury Cathedral; and Sybil Montagu, Prioress of Amesbury.
