John Locke (1764—1855), was a U.S. Representative from Massachusetts. He was born in Hopkinton, Middlesex County, and attended Andover Academy and Dartmouth College, eventually graduating from Harvard University in 1792. He was admitted to the Massachusetts bar and began practicing law in Ashby in 1796.

He was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1804, 1805, 1813, and 1823, and was a delegate to the State constitutional convention in 1820. He was elected to the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth U.S. Congresses (March 4, 1823 – March 3, 1829); He declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1828. Locke was then a member of the Massachusetts State Senate in 1830, and of the State executive council in 1831. At this time he also resumed the practice of law.
