John Burbidge (c.1718 – March 11, 1812) was a soldier, land owner, judge and political figure in Nova Scotia. He was a member of the 1st General Assembly of Nova Scotia in 1758 and represented Halifax Township from 1759 to 1765 and Cornwallis Township from 1765 to 1775 in subsequent assemblies. He was born in Cowes, England, and was at Louisbourg in 1747 and at Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1749, when it was founded. In 1761, he became a justice of the peace for Halifax County and, in 1762, became captain in the local militia. Around 1764, he settled at Cornwallis where he acquired a large farm.
