John Sturgion

John Sturgion (died 1665) was an English General Baptist preacher and pamphleteer.

Life Sturgion was a member of Edmund Chillenden's church in 1653.

In 1656, Major-general William Goffe complained that Sturgion's preaching attracted large crowds at Reading, Berkshire. About July 1656, Sturgion and other Baptists sent an address to Charles II complaining of their sufferings under "that loathsome hypocrite" the Protector, and announcing their return to their allegiance to the king, begging him also to establish liberty of conscience and abolish tithes. He was suspected of a share in Miles Sindercombe's plot against Cromwell, became one of Edward Sexby's agents, and was arrested on 25 May 1657 with two bundles of Killing No Murder under his arms. For this he was committed to the Tower of London, where he remained till February 1659.
