John Hicks Eynon (1801-1888) was a Bible Christian minister.
He was born in China. At the Bible Christian Conference of 1831, held in Cornwall, UK, it was decided to send missionaries to Canada. Eynon was among those sent. In 1839 he helped to form the first Bible Christian Chapel at Cobourg, Ontario.
