John Greenwood (March 25, 1791 - October 1, 1867) was a British surveyor, mapmaker, and publisher active in London in the early to mid-19th century. John was the younger brother of fellow mapmaker, Christopher Greenwood (1786 - 1825). He was born in Gisburn, Yorkshire. He worked for a time in London with his brother John, and George Kemp in a surveying partnership. The Kemp partnership was dissolved in 1827, curiously around the same time the Greenwood brothers issued their monumental plan of London.
