John de Lisle, 2nd Baron Lisle of Rougemont, KG (c. 1318 – 14 October 1355) was an English peer and soldier who spent much of his career serving in the wars in France. He was a companion of Edward III, and one of the founding members of the Order of the Garter in 1348.

John de Lisle, born about 1318, was the eldest son of Robert de Lisle, 1st Baron Lisle, and Margaret de Beauchamp, daughter of Sir Walter de Beauchamp (d. 16 February 1303) of Alcester, Warwickshire, by Alice de Tony, daughter of Roger de Tony.

At his marriage in 1332, his father gave him the manor of Campton in Bedfordshire. In 1336, during a period of illness, his father proposed to give him lands worth 400 marks a year, including the manor of Harewood in Yorkshire, to enable him to serve Edward III with six men-at-arms. In 1338 he saw service in the Scottish marches, and was present at the siege of Dunbar. In 1342 his father became a Franciscan friar, and is thought to have been ordained a priest; in consequence, on 23 March 1342 the Lisle lands were taken into the King's hands.

Much of Lisle's career was spent in France, serving in Edward III's wars. In October 1339 he was at Buironfosse with the King; however Philip VI of France declined battle. In 1341 he was in Aquitaine, and in 1342 was in Brittany, where he was taken prisoner, but later exchanged for one William d’Ansenis, and where he commanded a force at the siege of Nantes. He returned to England, but on 20 January 1345 he was preparing to depart for Gascony with Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster, then Earl of Derby. He took part with Walter de Mauny in the defence of the English fortress at Aiguillon, and was Captain and Warden of St Sauveur. On 10 May 1346 he was granted an annuity of £40 for the duration of the wars in France, to be paid from the revenues of St Neots Priory. He was with the King in the campaign which began with the landing of English forces at La Hogue in the Cotentin on 12 July 1346, and culminated with the English victory at the Battle of Crecy on 26 August 1346. With his retinue of six knights, eleven esquires and twenty-three archers, Lisle fought at Crecy in the second battalion under William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton. After the battle he was created a knight banneret by the King, with an annuity of £200 in support of the dignity. He was also with the King at the siege of Calais, which capitulated on 4 August 1347. In December 1346 and in April 1347 he received general pardons 'on account of his good services in France'.
