John Rollin Lupton (August 23, 1928 - November 3, 1993) was an American film and television actor.

Upon graduation from New York's American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Lupton secured immediate stage work. He was then signed as a contract player at MGM in Hollywood.

Lupton was tall, lanky and handsome very much like James Stewart or Henry Fonda but never achieved similar fame while accumulating over 260 credits in film productions and on television.

Filmwise, Lupton is primarily remembered today for his role as "Sister Mary" in Battle Cry (1955).

He co-starred in 1956 with Fess Parker in the very popular film Disney's The Great Locomotive Chase, and in 1959 played a struggling writer in The Rebel Set.

He later appeared in the 1965 biblical film The Greatest Story Ever Told as the Speaker of the town of Capernaum, and as Jesse James in the cult horror western Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter (1966).

His later film career included roles in The Day of the Wolves (1971), The Astronaut (1972), Cool Breeze (1972), Napoleon and Samantha (1972), The Slams (1973), The Phantom of Hollywood (1974) and Airport 1975 (1974).
