John Flaxman (født 6. juli 1755, død 7. desember 1826) var en engelsk billedhugger og tegner. Han var den toneangivende i den britiske nyklassisimen.

Blant hans viktigste verk kan nevnes relieffer og medaljonger som ble tegnet for den berømte poselensprodusenten Wedgewoods. Han er i dag kanskje mest kjent for sine illustrasjoner til Odysseen.

University College Chapel i Oxford har fire marmorarbeider av Flaxman:

et minnesmerke over Matthew Rolleston^[8]
et minnesmerke over Sir Robert Chambers ^[9]
et minnesmerke over William Jones.^[10]
et minnesmerke over Nathan Wetherell^[11]
