John Laurie (1797 – 2 August 1864)[1] was a British Conservative politician.
Laurie was first elected Conservative MP for Barnstaple at a by-election in 1854—caused by the constituency's result at the 1852 general election being declared void on petition due to bribery, leading to the writ for the seat also being suspended in 1853.[2] However, Laurie's term was short-lived after, upon petition, he was unseated in March 1855, due to bribery.[3] He later regained the seat in 1857 and held it until 1859 when he did not seek re-election.[4]
