Sir John Stawell or Stowell, 29 August 1600 – 21 February 1662, was MP for Somerset at various times from 1625 to 1662, and one of the leading Royalists in the West Country during the First English Civil War.
Captured at Exeter in 1646, he was excluded from the general pardon, and held in the Tower of London until 1653. After the Stuart Restoration in 1660, his estates were returned and he was re-elected to the Cavalier Parliament in April 1661.
