John Douglas, Lord of Balvenie
- John Douglas, Lord of Balvenie
John Douglas, Lord of Balvenie (or Balveny, Balvany) (c. 1433–1463) was the youngest of the five formidable Douglas brothers, from the Black Douglas family, who clashed with King James II of Scotland.
They were the sons of James Douglas, 7th Earl of Douglas. He was the only one of the brothers who was not an earl. During a conflict between the Black Douglases and the Percys, he burned Alnwick.
He fought the king's supporters at the Battle of Arkinholm, but escaped. For a time he took refuge in England, along with the other surviving brother, James Douglas, 9th Earl of Douglas. He returned to Scotland in an attempt to continue the struggle, but was captured and beheaded in Edinburgh.Fact|date=December 2007
