John of Scotland (or John de Scotia or John le Scot), 9th Earl of Huntingdon and 7th Earl of Chester (c. 1207 – 6 June 1237), sometimes known as "the Scot", was an Anglo-Scottish magnate, the son of David of Scotland, Earl of Huntingdon by his wife Matilda of Chester, daughter of Hugh de Kevelioc.

Less than a month later with the consent of the King, she gave an inter vivos gift of the earldom to her son John who became Earl of Chester by right of his mother.

[1] He was formally invested by King Henry III as Earl of Chester[citation needed] on 21 November 1232.

They agreed to share the estates between them and to make the husband of the eldest sister Christian, William de Forz, Earl of Chester and Huntingdon by right of his wife.

However Henry III decided that the earldoms should be annexed to the crown "lest so fair a dominion should be divided among women".
