John Edward Sheridan (September 15, 1902–November 12, 1987) was a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.

John E. Sheridan was born in Waterbury, Connecticut.

He served as deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania from 1934 to 1937. He was a member of the Board of Revision of Taxes of Philadelphia County in 1937, and the Pennsylvania counsel for the Delaware River Bridge Commission in 1938 and 1939. He was a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions in 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944.

After his time in Congress he served in the United States Air Force from 1954 to 1962, retiring as a colonel.
