John McMullin (October 18, 1765 – September 12, 1843) was an American silversmith, active in Philadelphia.
McMullin was born in Philadelphia. He worked in circa 1795—1810 as an individual silversmith and jeweler, then from 1811-1815 in a series of partnerships (1811-1813 with James Black as McMULLIN & BLACK, 1813—1814 with James McMullin, 1814—1815 with William Seal SEAL & MCMULLIN), and finally on his own again from 1815—1841 as a silversmith and jeweler. During the French Revolution, he took in the Delormerie family, and paid for Adelaide Celestis Delormerie's memorial when she died at age 16. McElroy's 1830 directory lists his address as 114 South Front Street. He died in Philadelphia, where he is buried in the Woodlands Cemetery. His work is collected in the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and perhaps[weasel words] the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts.[citation needed]
