John Christian Luning (1863 – 1928) was a mayor of the town of Leesburg, Florida, during the 1890s and Lake County Commissioner. He would go on to serve the shortest term as Florida's Commissioner of Agriculture for 14 days before going on to serve as State Treasurer of Florida. He was part of a group of Florida leaders known as the "Three Musketeers" – along with James B. Whitfield (a state treasurer and state attorney general before serving nearly 40 years on the Florida Supreme Court) and William V. Knott (who held various cabinet positions for nearly 40 continuous years before becoming a political appointee) – and had a bright political future before his sudden death in September 1928.
