John Roosevelt Boettiger (born March 30, 1939) is the son of Anna Roosevelt Boettiger and her second husband, John Boettiger, and is grandson of United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt. He lives in Norway and Massachusetts.

As a child, with his mother Anna Roosevelt Boettiger, he lived in the White House during World War II with President and Mrs. Roosevelt, his grandparents. Later, as a college student (Amherst College '60), he lived and traveled with his grandmother Eleanor Roosevelt and joined her in work on behalf of the United Nations. He served as national president of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations from 1958 to 1960.

Leaving Hampshire to work with graduate students in clinical psychology, he was Professor of Psychology and Dean of Student Affairs at the California School of Professional Psychology in San Francisco and Berkeley, CA.

He is Vice-President and Treasurer of the Christopher Reynolds Foundation, on whose board he has served for over 30 years. Trained as a political scientist at Columbia University before moving to a career in psychology, he taught at his alma mater Amherst College, was a consultant to and member of the Social Science Department of the RAND Corporation, and briefly served as a desk officer at the United States Department of State. He holds a Ph.D in clinical and developmental psychology.

Earlier in his career, Dr. Boettiger wrote on educational and political themes, including two books on United States policy in Vietnam. He has an interest in the intersections of social history, narrative and psychology, themes explored in his book: "A Love in Shadow," published by W.W. Norton.
