John de Braideston (died after 1334) was an English Crown official who also served as a judge in Ireland.

He is first heard of in Kent as a corn merchant. In 1327 he was steward to Walter Reynolds, Archbishop of Canterbury and the following year sat on a commission of oyer and terminer in Surrey.

He was sent to Ireland as Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer in 1329 and served for two years. He returned to England and was still living in 1334.
