John Wilson Bengough (7 April 1851 – 2 October 1923) was one of Canada's first cartoonists. He was born in Toronto, but grew up in Whitby. He first worked as a cartoonist for the Globe in 1871. He rose to prominence through the publication of Grip, a weekly humour magazine that he founded and published himself out of Toronto from 1873 until 1892. He later worked as a newspaper cartoonist for the Toronto Globe and the Montreal Star. Bengough died of a heart attack at his drawing board.

There is a small town in southern Saskatchewan, Canada, named after Bengough.

The Art Gallery of Ontario presented an exhibition of Bengough's drawings in 1969.
