John Cruso (1592 – after 1655) was a writer on military matters before the English Civil War, and a supporter of the Parliamentary cause during the war.〔.

Ole Peter Grell says "Cruso's military works were significant only in that they were the first to make the new continental, primarily Dutch, military literature available to an English-speaking audience."〔 Cruso also wrote poetry in English and Dutch. His Dutch poems include a lengthy reflection on Psalm 8, and an elegy to the minister of the Dutch church in Norwich, Johannes Elison (1642). In 1655 he published a collection of 221 Dutch epigrams. We also know of at least three English poems by Cruso, dedicated to the preacher at St. Andrew's church, Norwich, Lawrence Howlett. Cruso was also an elder of the Dutch church in Norwich and made a living as a cloth merchant. ==Bibliography== *''Militarie Instructions for the Cavallrie (1632)''〔 *''The Complete Captain and A Treatise of Modern War''〔Barbara Donagan, ''Halcyon days and the literature of war: England's military education before 1642'' Past & Present, May, 1995.
