- John Cole, 1st Baron Mountflorence
John Cole, 1st Baron Mountflorence (13 October 1709–30 November 1767), was an Irish politician.
Born in Dublin, he was the son of John Cole, MP for Enniskillen. In 1726 he was admitted to Trinity College Dublin, where he was educated, and five years later was returned to the Irish House of Commons as member for his father's old seat of Enniskillen, a constituency he represented until his ennoblement. He was also Sheriff of County Fermanagh in 1732. In 1760 Cole was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Mountflorence, of Florence Court in the County of Fermanagh. He took his seat in the Irish House of Lords the following year, and died six years later aged 58. He was succeeded in the barony by his son William, who was created Earl of Enniskillen in 1789.
