John Berridge McCuish (June 22, 1906 – March 12, 1962) was the 34th governor of Kansas. A member of the Republican Party, McCuish is best known for his 11-day tenure as Kansas' governor, during which he appointed his immediate predecessor to the Kansas Supreme Court. The episode, dubbed the "Triple Play of 1956", spurred legislation designed to prevent it from happening again.
