John Featherstone Ford was a Canadian politician from Ontario.
First elected as a councillor in Trafalgar Township, Ontario in 1896, he would later rise to become Reeve of the Township and Warden of Halton County. He would later represent Halton in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1919 until his resignation in 1920, when he stepped aside to allow E.C. Drury to be elected after being named Premier of Ontario. He would later stand as a Progressive candidate for Halton in 1921, coming in third. His campaign had been hampered by controversies arising from Drury's administration.
