John W. Blanchard (* 1930) ist ein britischer Pflanzenzüchter, der als Experte für die Wildarten der Pflanzengattung der Narzissen (Narcissus) gilt.

Er arbeitete in Blandford, Dorset (England) ab 1954 mit Douglas Blanchard (1887–1968) zusammen.

Sein 1990 erschienenes Werk Narcissus: A guide to wild daffodils, unter anderem mit genauen Informationen über die Heimatregionen der Arten, gilt als ein Standardwerk für die Wildarten der Narzissen (Narcissus). Seine Systematik der Wildarten ist nicht streng botanisch, sondern orientiert sich teilweise an der Sicht des Pflanzenzüchters.
