John Wesley Terry (1846–?) was a Baptist preacher and labor leader in central Tennessee and Chicago. In Chicago, he became foreman of a shop in the West Division Street Car Company and became an officer of the Knights of Labor, taking part in the negotiations to end the strikes in 1886 - the Haymarket riots were a part of the same series of strikes.
