John H. Duncan (fl. c. 1900) was an American architect.
He was the designer of The Walcott Hotel. One of the most famous architects in the United States at the turn of the 20th Century, his popularity rose after being selected as the architect of what is now Grant's Tomb, another 'reconstruction' of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (Greek Ionia).
Duncan also contributed townhouses on Manhattan's Upper East side. One marvelous example is 21 E 84st (with its neighbors, 1132 and 1134 Madison Avenue), still intact today with much of the original interior and exterior. "A brick and terra-cotta terrace (English-style grouping of jointly designed townhouses), now sullied by unhappy storefronts on the avenue. But look up at the frieze"
