Dr. John Hammond^[a] is a fictional character in the Jurassic Park franchise. He first appears in author Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, which began the franchise. In Steven Spielberg's film adaptation of the same name, he was portrayed by Richard Attenborough, who reprised the role in the movie's sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

In both the book and the film, Hammond is the wealthy owner of Jurassic Park, a theme park containing genetically modified cloned dinosaurs. He is the founder of InGen, and the grandfather to Lex and Tim Murphy.

Although a villainous character in the book, Hammond is more heroic in the film, and does not experience the death that his book counterpart suffers. Instead, he is implied to have died between the events of Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World.
