John Norman (died 1468) was a 15th-century draper, sheriff, alderman and for a term the Lord Mayor of London.

Up until that point lord mayors of London had ridden or walked to Westminster in the yearly pageant on Lord Mayor's Day. Such river pageants existed until 1856, and today the lord mayor rides within a state coach during the pageant which is known today as Lord Mayor's Show.
