- John Black (Wisconsin politician)
John Black (1827–1899) was a Democratic politician who served one term as mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Black was born near Bitche, Lorraine, France. He moved with his family to the United States in 1844, settling near Lockport, New York. He moved with his wife to Milwaukee in 1857, where he started a wholesale wine and liquor business. Black was active in politics, having served in the Wisconsin State Assembly, the Wisconsin State Senate, the Milwaukee Common Council, and, in 1878, as mayor of Milwaukee for a two-year term, a Democrat in a city largely Republican at the time. Black was the Democratic nominee to the United States Congress in 1886 and won the election.
He is buried at Calvary Cemetery in Milwaukee.
