John Dennistoun (19 March 1803 – 9 September 1870)[1] was a British Whig politician and banker.[2]
A member of Brooks's, he was elected Whig MP for Glasgow at a by-election in 1837—caused by the resignation of James Oswald—and held the seat until 1847 when he was defeated.[2][3]
His wife Frances was the daughter of Sir Henry Onslow. His brother Alexander Dennistoun was Whig MP for Dunbartonshire from 1835 to 1837.[2][4]
