Sir John Osborne, 7th Baronet, MP (died 11 April 1743), was an Irish baronet, landowner and politician.

The younger son of Nicholas Osborne (died 25 December 1714) and wife Anne "née" Parsons, and grandson of Sir Thomas Osborne, 5th Baronet. He succeeded his brother, Sir Nicholas Osborne, 6th Baronet, in 1719.
Educated at the Middle Temple, he practised as a barrister after being called to the Bar at King
in a number of cases, cases ranging from revolutionary France to contemporary Russia under Putin. Snyder suggests that the way to avoid nationalist conflict is to promote the growth of robust civic institutions and a solid middle class before prior to democratization.
