John Wilkins (1614–1672) was a clergyman, academic, writer, and scientist.
At various times he was Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, and finally Bishop of Chester, but he is perhaps best remembered as one of the founders of the Royal Society.
In 1656, he married Robina French, the youngest sister of Oliver Cromwell.
