John Murton (1585 – c. 1626) was an English Puritan Dissenter minister and theologian in England. John Murton's ideas of credobaptism, separation of the Church from secular power and regenerated church membership in the Church spread throughout England and America and formed the basis of the Baptist tradition, along with the Puritan theologians John Smyth and Thomas Helwys, in the 17th century.
