Sir John Harpeden (or Harpsden; french: Jean Harpedenne) was an English knight and administrator who served Edward III of England in France during the Hundred Years' War. He served as seneschal of Saintonge (1371–72) and seneschal of Aquitaine (1385–89). His descendants became French lords. He is called John Harpeden I or John Harpeden the Elder to distinguish him from his son, Jean Harpedenne II.

Jean was the only son of the English knight John Harpeden and his French wife, Jeanne, daughter of Olivier IV de Clisson and Jeanne de Belleville and thus a younger sister of Olivier V. Jean was born in the 1360s and was raised in the household of Olivier V. Jean, who was by language and upbringing a French Poitevin, is unlikely to have seen his father after 1372, when his father was captured in battle by the French. Jean came into possession of his father's estates around Belleville in Poitou in 1372, although he was under the control of his uncle at that time. He is the source for the story that Olivier V de Clisson, while serving as constable of France, would annually remind the minor-aged Charles VI that he was a year closer to assuming full powers By 1385, Jean had bec ...
