John Hamilton King (April 21, 1900 – August 22, 1977) was a justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court from 1957 to 1970.

"His father was a distinguished member of the Connecticut Bar and Attorney General of the state of Connecticut from 1903 to 1907. When Judge King was only a young child, his parents removed to Willimantic, and it was there that he spent his life. He was graduated from Windham High School and, in 1923, from Yale University. In 1925, he was graduated from the Yale Law School and admitted to the practice of law".[1]

He was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Chief Justice Ernest A. Inglis.[2]
