John Wesley Ross (June 18, 1830 - June 20, 1914) was an architect in Davenport, Iowa. Originally of Westfield, Massachusetts, Ross moved to Davenport in 1874 where he designed several prominent structures. His son, Albert Randolph Ross, was a draughtsman in John W. Ross's office during 1884-7, and became a notable architect in his own right.

Ross designed several buildings that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are preserved. His works include:
- Davenport City Hall, 226 W. 4th St. Davenport, Iowa, built in 1895, Richardsonian Romanesque, NRHP-listed for its "association with the history of city government" and for its architecture "as an important, and increasingly rare, expression of the Richardsonian Romanesque style."
