- John Comyn (died 1308) was Earl of Buchan and an important member of Clan Comyn during the early 14th century. He was a chief opponent of Robert the Bruce in the civil war that paralleled the War of Scottish Independence. He should not be confused with the better known John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, who was his cousin, and who was killed by Bruce in Dumfries in 1306. Confusion between the two men has affected the study of this period of history. Buchan was the representative of a family that had long dominated the politics of Scotland. He was defeated by Bruce at the Battle of Barra and was forced to flee to England. Bruce's subsequent Harrying of Buchan destroyed support for the Comyns in northern Scotland. This defeat, together with Comyn's death that year, entailed a significant-and lasting-shift in the balance of power in Scotland.
- John Comyn, jarl av Buchan var en skotsk adelsmann og en betydelig motstander av kong Robert Bruce av Skottland i borgerkrigen som gikk parallelt med Den skotske uavhengighetskrigen. Han må ikke blandes sammen med den mer kjente John III Comyn, herre av Badenoch, også kalt for «den røde Comyn», som var hans fetter og som ble drept av Robert Bruce i Dumfries i 1306. Jarlen av Buchan var en representant for en familie som lenge hadde dominert skotsk politikk. Hans endelig nedlag for Robert Bruce markerte en betydelig og endelig skifte i maktbalansen i Skottland, spesielt i det nordlige Skottland som var Comyns kjerneområde.
