John Goto (born 1949 Stockport, England) is a British photographic artist.[1] His work addresses a range of historical, cultural and socio-political subject areas,[2] often using a satirical approach.

Goto's first one-man exhibition, Goto, Photographs 1971-81, was held at the Photographer's Gallery in London in 1981. Other solo shows include Terezin, at the Raab Gallery, Berlin, in 1988; The Scar, Manchester City Museum and Art Gallery, 1993; The Commissar of Space, MOMA, Oxford, 1998; Loss of Face, Tate Britain, London, 2002; High Summer, The British Academy, London, 2005;[3] and Dreams of Jelly Roll, Freud Museum, London, 2012.[4]

Goto was Artist-in-Residence at Kettle's Yard, University of Cambridge, 1988-9.[5]

Gtoto's books include Ukadia,[6][7] published to coincide with a solo exhibition at Djanogly Art Gallery, Nottingham, 2003, and Lovers’ Rock,[8] which is a series of portraits made in 1977 by Goto of young British Afro-Caribbeans.

In 2007, the Telegraph listed Goto as one of the top 100 living geniuses.[9]
