John Barton (1755–1789) was one of nine English Quaker members of the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, which was set up in 1787 by William Wilberforce and two other Anglicans. The committee's efforts ultimately led to the passage of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, 1807 by the UK Parliament on 25 March in that year.
