John Pell (1 March 1611 – 12 December 1685) was an English mathematician.
Pell spent much of the 1630s working under Samuel Hartlib's influence, on a variety of topics in the area of pedagogy, encyclopedism and pansophy, combinatorics and the legacy of Trithemius. By 1638 he had formulated a proposal for a universal language.
In mathematics, he concentrated on expanding the scope of algebra in the theory of equations, and on mathematical tables.
