Sir John Abdy, 4th Baronet (c. 1714 – 1 April 1759)^[1] was a British baronet and Tory politician.

He also owned a town house at Lincoln's Inn Fields in London.

Abdy died unmarried in 1759 and was buried in Stapleford Abbotts in Essex.^[5] On his death the baronetcy became extinct.^[2] His estates, including Albyns, were eventually inherited by his third cousin Sir Anthony Abdy, 5th Baronet.^[3]
