John Carver (c .1576April 1621) was a wealthy English merchant and early colonist of the New World.

Little is known about Carver's early life, but he is assumed to have been born in England. He joined the Separatist movement and traveled from England to Holland to avoid religious persecution under James I. There he and other Separatists decided to travel to the New World and came on the ship Mayflower in 1620. After the Mayflower arrival, John Carver was chosen the first governor. He was governor for about four months until his untimely death which is believed to be in April 1621.
