John Drummond (1676 – 20 December 1742)[1] was a Scottish banker, merchant and politician.
He was the third son George Drummond of Blair Drummond, Perthshire, and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Gilbert Ramsay, 1st Baronet, from Bamff in Perthshire.[2]
In 1691 he moved to Amsterdam, where he became a successful merchant and banker. There he met and befriended James Brydges (later Duke of Chandos), who assisted his career thereafter.[2]
He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Perth Burghs from 1727 until his death in 1742.[2]
