John Digby, 3rd Earl of Bristol (26 April 1634 – 18 September 1698)[1] was a British peer and Member of Parliament, styled Lord Digby from 1653 to 1677.
He was knight of the shire for Dorset from 1675 until 1677, when he inherited the earldom of Bristol from his father George Digby, 2nd Earl of Bristol.
He was the Custos Rotulorum of Dorset from 1680 and Lord Lieutenant of Dorset from 1679. He married Rachel, a daughter of Hugh Wyndham.
He died without issue and thus the title became extinct.
