Fra' John Timothy Dunlap (born April 16, 1957) is a Canadian attorney who has been the Prince and Grand Master and head of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta since May 3, 2023. He had been Lieutenant of the Grand Master since 13 June 2022. Dunlap is the first Prince and Grand Master not to be of noble or aristocratic ancestry, which was traditionally a requirement for the role until a revision to the Order's constitution ordered by Pope Francis in 2022.
