John McLean (March 3, 1785 – April 3, 1861) was born in New Jersey and moved to Ohio in 1796. He was elected to the U.S. House in 1813 but resigned in 1816 to take a seat on the Supreme Court of Ohio, where he served from 1816 to 1822 before resigning his judgeship. In 1829, McLean was appointed an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court by President Andrew Jackson. McLean wrote a number of antislavery opinions, including one as a justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio. He died in Cincinnati in 1861.
