John Sturt (1658–1730) was an English engraver, apprenticed at seventeen to Robert White, in whose manner he engraved a number of small portraits as frontispieces for books. He is best-known as an engraver of calligraphy, producing 48 plates for John Ayres' A Tutor to Penmanship or the Writing Master (1697-8). He also taught with Bernard Lens II at Christ's Hospital.
