John Bartlett (June 14, 1820 – December 3, 1905) was an American writer and publisher whose best known work, Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, has been continually revised and reissued for a century after his death.

The concordance, which Bartlett estimated consumed 16,000 hours of his time, was compiled with his wife Hannah, the daughter of Sidney Willard, a professor of Hebrew at Harvard, and the granddaughter of Joseph Willard, president of Harvard. He died in Cambridge, Massachusetts aged 85 and is buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.
