John Delaval Carpenter, 4th Earl of Tyrconnell GCH, FRS (16 December 1790 – 25 June 1853) was a British peer. He served with the North York Corps of Yeomanry.

Carpenter was the eldest son of Charles & Elizabeth (MacKenzie) Carpenter. His father Charles (3 January 1757 – 5 September 1803) was a naval officer of rank who married on 19 May 1785 the only daughter of Thomas Mackenzie, Esq. His uncle was George Carpenter, 2nd Earl of Tyrconnell who died 15 April 1805 leaving the title to John's brother George. When brother George died on 20 December 1812, John inheritted the title.

He married on 1 October 1817 Sarah Crowe (abt 1795 – 1868), the only child of Robert Crowe, Esq., of Kiplin, county York and Anne Buckle, his wife, who was the daughter of Christopher Buckle, Esq., of Burgh, in Banstead.

In 1818, Sarah Crowe Carpenter inherited Kiplin Hall from her father and lived there until her death 1868. John and Sarah had only one child, a daughter named Elizabeth Anne Carpenter who was born and who died on 19 February 1847.

Kiplin Hall passed to a cousin, Walter Cecil Talbot, second son of the Henry Chetwynd-Talbot, 18th Earl of Shrewsbury, who changed his surname to Carpenter as a condition of the will. From 1887 to 1904 Royal Navy Admiral Walter Talbot now surnamed Carpenter lived at Kiplin Hall, near Scorton, Richmond, North Yorkshire, England.

Lord Tyrconnell's arms, inherited by title from his great-great-great-grandfather Lord Carpenter, appear to be of French or Norman heritage, "Paly of six, argent and gules, on a chevron azure, 3 cross crosslets or." Crest, on a wreath a globe in a frame all or. Supporters, two horses, party-perfess, embattled argent and gules. Motto: "Per Acuta Belli" (Through the Asperities of War). These arms descend from John Carpenter, the younger (abt. 1372 – 1442), who was the noted Town Clerk of London during the reigns of King Henry V and King Henry VI.
