John Cheyne (February 3 1777, Leith, Scotland - January 31 1836, Buckinghamshire, England) was a British physician, surgeon and author of monographs on a number of medical topics. He was one of the people to identify Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

The son of a surgeon, he had grown up around medical practice and was able to enter Edinburgh University at the age of 15, graduating as a doctor at 18 years of age. He joined the army and worked as a surgeon with an artillery corps. He was present at the Battle of Vinegar Hill. Cheyne rejoined his father's practice four years later in 1799.

Ten years later, Cheyne moved to Dublin and in 1811 began working at the Meath Hospital. He also taught war medicine and was appointed Physician General to British forces in Ireland in 1820.

Cheyne wrote a number of books, including "Essays of Diseases of Children" in 1801. He was also the author of an early treastise on the larynx in 1809, "Pathology of the Membrane of the Larynx and Bronchia".

He retired to England in 1831 following a course of ill health and died at his country estate a few years later.
