John Weaver (Member of the Long Parliament)
- John Weaver (Member of the Long Parliament)
John Weaver (died 1685) was an English politician during the Civil War and Commonwealth period.
He was elected a member of the Long Parliament as MP for Stamford in 1645. Becoming one of the recognised leaders of the Independents, he remained in the House of Commons after Pride's Purge, although he refused to sit as one of the judges in the trial of the King. From 1650 to 1653 he was one of the Commissioners for the government of Ireland. After the expulsion of the Long Parliament, he represented Stamford in all three Parliaments of the Protectorate, and was a member of the Council of State of 1659-1660.
