John Thomas Simpson (27 October 1870 – 13 December 1965) was a Conservative member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in Waverley, Ontario and became a farmer and a municipal politician.

Simpson attended schools in Simcoe County, including Barrie Collegiate Institute. He served on the council of Simcoe County for 12 years, serving as councillor and reeve of Tiny Township, becoming the county warden in 1913 and county clerk in 1922. In 1919, he was an unsuccessful candidate in the 1919 Ontario election.[1]
