John Featherstone Ford was a Canadian politician from Ontario.
First elected as a councillor in Trafalgar Township, Ontario in 1896, he would later rise to become Reeve of the Township and Warden of Halton County.[2] He would later represent Halton in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1919 until his resignation in 1920,[3] when he stepped aside to allow E.C. Drury to be elected after being named Premier of Ontario.[2] He would later stand as a Progressive candidate for Halton in 1921,[2] coming in third.[4] His campaign had been hampered by controversies arising from Drury's administration.[4]
