John Andrew MacPherson (1856 – 21 July 1944) was a New Zealand politician of the Liberal Party and the United Party.
He represented the Mount Ida seat from 1905 to 1908, when he was defeated standing for the replacement electorate of Tuapeka.[1]
In 1922 he won the Oamaru seat from Ernest Lee. The election was declared void, but MacPherson won the subsequent by-election.[1]
Lee won the seat back from MacPherson in the 1925 general election, but again lost it to MacPherson in the 1928 general election. MacPherson then held it until 1935, when he was defeated by Labour's Arnold Nordmeyer.[1][2]
MacPherson died on 21 July 1944.[3]
