John de la Pole, 2nd Duke of Suffolk (September 27 1442-May 1492), was a major magnate in 15th-century England.His youth was overshadowed by the political fall and subsequent murder of his father in 1450, who had been a favorite of King Henry VI, but was increasingly distrusted by the rest of the nobility.

The eldest of his eleven children from the marriage, also John, would eventually be named heir to Richard III in 1484 and die in battle in the Yorkist cause.
