John Fletcher (1579-1625) was a Jacobean playwright. Following William Shakespeare as house playwright for the King's Men, he was among the most prolific and influential dramatists of his day; both during his lifetime and in the early Restoration, his fame rivaled Shakespeare's. Though his reputation has been eclipsed since, Fletcher remains an important transitional figure between the Elizabethan popular tradition and the popular drama of the Restoration.

A lieutenant the East India Company, he was cashiered for insolence, but was restored in time to serve in the Seven Years's War, leading to a promotion to captain and a knighthood for gallantry in action. However in 1766 he was court-martialled and cashiered again by Robert Clive for his involvement in the Monghyr Mutiny. He returned to England, became MP for Cricklade and campaigned for reinstatement to the the E.I.C. again, which he achieved in 1769, with a promotion to colonel. In 1772 he assumed command of the Madras Army, but came into conflict with the local E.I.C. governor, leaving India again in 1773. As an MP he called for an inquiry into the business of the East India Company; soon after the Company re-engaged his services, promoting him to brigadier-general in Madras, and he withdrew from the 1774 General Election. Back in India again he clashed with a different governor of Madras, Lord Pigot but, ill with tuberculosis, Fletcher left India, dying on Mauritius.
