John Christian Lodge (August 12, 1862 – February 6, 1950) was an influential mayor of Detroit, Michigan serving 1922 to 1923, in 1924, and from 1927 to 1929.
Born in Detroit to Dr. Edwin A. Lodge and Christiana Lodge ([née Hanson]], his career included time as a newspaper reporter and he was also active in the lumber industry. Before serving as mayor, he was a member of Michigan House of Representatives from Wayne County's 1st District, from 1909 to 1910. He is buried at Elmwood Cemetery in Detroit.
The John C. Lodge Freeway (M-10) in Detroit was named after him. He attended the Michigan Military Academy for half a year before resigning in January 1881.
He is sometime misidentified as "John Cabot Lodge", being confused with John Davis Lodge, the son of George Cabot Lodge and younger brother of Henry Cabot Lodge.
