John Krider (February 17, 1813 – November 12, 1886) was an American gunsmith and ornithologist who operated a sporting goods store on the northeast corner of Second St. and Walnut St. in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for much of the 19th century.[1] On the second floor of Krider's shop was a taxidermy shop, where hundreds of bird specimens were prepared over multiple decades.[1]

In 1859, Krider manufactured the first 25 prototypes of the LeMat Revolver, also known as the "Grape Shot Revolver". The unique firearm had been developed in New Orleans in 1856 by Jean Alexandre Le Mat, whose manufacturing effort was backed by P. G. T. Beauregard, who became a general in the Confederate States Army.[2]

He is the namesake of Krider's hawk (Buteo jamaicensis kriderii).[3]
