John "Lofty" Wiseman is a British author, survival consultant and television presenter.

Before his retirement Wiseman was also involved in selection courses where he helped decide who was able to join the SAS.
When he provided survival training to the cast of the 1990 film Memphis Belle, his ability to make food out of unlikely materials inspired cast member Harry Connick Jr. to write the song Lofty's Roach Souffle.
