John Fleming (1743 – 28 February 1802)[1] was a Tory[2] politician in England.

He was elected at the 1774 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Southampton. At the 1780 general election he was defeated by his fellow-Tory Hans Sloane, who won the seat with 249 votes to Fleming's 237.[2] Fleming was re-elected unopposed in 1784, and held the seat until the 1790 general election,[1] which he did not contest.[2]
