John Petre, 1st Baron Petre (20 December 1549 – 11 October 1613) was an English peer who lived during the Tudor period and early Stuart period. He and his family were recusants — people who adhered to the Catholic faith after the English Reformation; nevertheless, Lord Petre was appointed to a number of official positions in the county of Essex.
