John Monson, 1st Baron Monson PC (c. 1693–18 July 1748), known as Sir John Monson, 5th Baronet, from 1727 to 1728, was a British politician.
Monson was the son of Sir William Monson, 4th Baronet. He was elected to the House of Commons for Lincoln in 1722, a seat he held until 1728. The latter year he was raised to the peerage as Baron Monson, of Burton in the County of Lincoln. He later served as President of the Board of Trade from 1737 to 1748 and was admitted to the Privy Council in 1737.
Lord Monson married Lady Margaret Watson, youngest daughter of Lewis Watson, 1st Earl of Rockingham, in 1725. Their second son Lewis later succeeded to the Rockingham estates and was created Baron Sondes in 1760. Lord Monson died in July 1748 and was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son John.
