John Turner (born 1943) is an English recorder player and a former lawyer. He has done much to encourage the development of contemporary music for the recorder, particularly from British composers. Turner was born in Stockport and attended Stockport Grammar School, where the music master was Geoffrey Verney (previously a colleague of Ralph Vaughan Williams) and the assistant music master Douglas Steele (1910-1999, a composer and previously an assistant to Thomas Beecham at Covent Garden).
