John M. McQuillan (1949) is an American computer scientist, known for studies of early routing algorithms in the ARPANET.

He received his A.B. (1970), M.S. (1971) and Ph.D. (1974) in applied mathematics from Harvard University. He was at the sametime (since 1971) employed at the equipment manufacturer Bolt, Beranek and Newman in Cambridge, MA, where he programmed the Interface Message Processor, work that in part led to his dissertation"Adaptive routing for distributed computer networks" advised by Jeffrey P. Buzen (1974), in which McQuillan developedways to reroute messages around faulty and congested areas in the Internet based on delay feedback. He also edited the twoearly introductions to networking,"Understanding the new local network technologies" (BBN, 1978) and "A practical view of computer communications protocols" (IEEE, 1978).
