John Bevis (October 31, 1693 or November 10, 1695 – November 6, 1771) was an English doctor and astronomer. He is best known for discovering the Crab Nebula in 1731.

Bevis was born in Old Sarum, Wiltshire. From observations made with his telescope at Stoke Newington, Middlesex he compiled a star catalogue (more of an atlas) entitled Uranographia Britannica around 1750.
