John Busby (24 March 1765 – 10 May 1857) was an English-born surveyor and civil engineer, active in Australia. __NOTOC__ ==Early life== Busby was born in Alnwick, Northumberland, England, eldest son of George Busby, a miner and coalmaster of Stamford, and his wife Margaret, ''née'' Wilson, of Dunstan, Northumberland. Busby became a coal miner and later a mineral surveyor and civil engineer in Scotland, and was employed on various public work projects, including the provision of a water-supply for Leith fort.

In 1810 he was employed on the Irish estate of the marquess of Downshire. He married Sarah Kennedy in 1798 in Scotland. They had 6 sons and 2 daughters, all born in Scotland.
