- John Cargill (New Zealand politician)
John Cargill (1821 - 1898) was a New Zealand politician. He was the son of William Cargill, one of Otago's most prominent settlers.
He was elected to the 1st New Zealand Parliament as a representative of the Dunedin Country electorate, which covered rural Otago, Southland, and Fiordland. He was re-elected for the 2nd Parliament, serving alongside his father, but resigned in 1858. He later served in the 4th Parliament, representing the electorate of Bruce (which had been formed out of Dunedin Country). He also participated in Otago Provincial politics.
In 1887, Cargill left New Zealand for British Columbia after running into financial difficulties. He is buried in the Armstrong Pioneer Cemetery just north of Vernon, BC.
