John St Clair, Master of Sinclair (5 December 1683 – 2 November 1750) was a Scottish Army officer and Tory politician who sat briefly in the British House of Commons in 1708 before he was excluded as ineligible as eldest son of a Scottish peer. He was court-martialled and under sentence of death for the killing of two fellow officers before he escaped to serve in the Prussian army and was subsequently pardoned. He then took part as a rebel in the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715 and was attainted and excluded in succession to his father's property. He returned to Scotland after ten years abroad.
