John Gordon, 13th Earl of Sutherland (1576–1615) was a Scottish landowner and courtier.
He was the son of Alexander Gordon, 12th Earl of Sutherland and Jean Gordon, daughter of George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly.
He spent two years in France and returned in 1600.[1]
In August 1602 Sutherland, Hugh Mackay of Farr, Donald Macleod of Assynt and Ardvreck, and his brother Sir Robert Gordon visited Patrick Stewart, 2nd Earl of Orkney, sailing from Cromarty to Kirkwall and Birsay in the Dunkirk, a ship belonging to Earl Patrick. In 1604 Earl Patrick came to the christening of Sutherland's first son, named Patrick, at Dornoch Castle where there were pastimes and comedies.[2]
He fell ill at Dunrobin Castle and was carried to Dornoch where he died on 11 September 1615.[3]
