John James Bodkin (c. 1801 – January 1882)[1] was an Irish Whig politician.[2][3][4]
Bodkin was first elected Whig MP for Galway Borough at the 1831 general election, but stepped down at the next election in 1832. In 1835, he was returned for County Galway and then held this seat until 1847, when he did not seek re-election.[2][5]
He lived at Kilclooney, County Galway, and was a justice of the peace and a deputy lieutenant.
His elder daughter Eliza Mary Bodkin (d.1902) was married to Lewis George Dive, of Milwich, Staffordshire.[6]
