John Carter (circa 1650–1690) was a Virginia planter who served in the Virginia House of Burgesses, but whose political career was overshadowed by those of his father John Carter Sr. and his brother Robert Carter (often nicknamed "King Carter" for his wealth and social and political prominence in the Colony of Virginia).[1][2]
