Sir John See (14 October 184431 January 1907) was a member of the New South Wales Legislature from 26 November 1880 to 15 June 1901, and was then Premier of New South Wales from 1901 to 1904. See was a self-made man of strong character, an excellent business man and a sound politician.

The governor of New South Wales at the time of his Premiership, the 7th Earl of Beauchamp, privately judged See to be "a self made man of good heart but a most pushing and disagreeable manner". Early life See was the son of Joseph See, a farm-labourer, and his wife Mary Ann ''née'' Bailey, and was born in Yelling, Huntingdon, England. The Parish Records of his baptism sho ...
