John Harvey Kellogg (February 26, 1852 – December 14, 1943) was an American medical doctor in Battle Creek, Michigan who ran a sanitarium using holistic methods, with a particular focus on nutrition, enemas and exercise. Kellogg was an advocate of vegetarianism, and is best known for the invention of the corn flakes breakfast cereal with his brother, Will Keith Kellogg.

Kellogg was born in Tyrone, Michigan, to John Preston Kellogg (1806–1881) and Ann Janette Stanley (1824–1893). John lived with two sisters during childhood. The family had moved to Battle Creek, Michigan, by 1860 where his father set up a broom factory. John later worked as a printer's devil in a Battle Creek publishing house.
