John Wall (1620–1679) was a Catholic martyr and saint.

He was born in Preston, Lancashire, and entered the English College, Douai. He was ordained a priest in 1645 four years after entering. He remained Master of the Novices until 1656, when he moved to Worcestershire. Here he became a Governor (Six Master) of the Royal Grammar School Worcester. In 1678, he was apprehended and sent to Worcester gaol. His trial was on April 25. After being sent to London he was brought back to Worcester and executed for being a Catholic priest and exercising as such.
