John F. Larkin KC (born 1964), is the former Attorney General for Northern Ireland.

He was the first person to hold the office separately since its functions were assumed by the Attorney General for England and Wales in 1972. He was the first holder of the office not to be a politician sitting in either the Parliament of Northern Ireland, at Stormont, or the UK Parliament.[1]
