John Stephenson (1871–1933) was a British zoologist and surgeon whose career in the Indian Medical Service profoundly shaped his scientific and artistic contributions. As a civil surgeon and later a professor of zoology in India, Stephenson developed a deep knowledge of regional fauna, specialising in earthworm taxonomy.

After returning to the UK, Stephenson continued his work as an editor for the Fauna of British India series, where his illustrations played a vital role in cataloguing and understanding the biodiversity of the subcontinent.
