John Tenniel, född 28 februari 1820 i Bayswater i London, död 25 februari 1914 i London, var en brittisk illustratör.
Han tecknade många samtidskommenterande serier och skämtteckningar för Punch under sent 1800-tal, men är idag mest ihågkommen för sina illustrationer till Lewis Carrolls Alice i Underlandet. "Hans endast lätt förvridna djur- och människogestalter gjorde det overkliga sannolikt och verkligheten tvetydig".[1]

The Caterpillar. One of John Tenniel's illustrations from the first edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). The illustration is noted for its ambiguous central figure, whose head can be viewed as being a human male's face with pointed nose and protruding lower lip or being the head end of an actual caterpillar, with the right three "true" legs visible. ("And do you see its long nose and chin? At least, they look exactly like a nose and chin, don't they? But they really are two of its legs. You know a Caterpillar has got quantities of legs: you can see more of them, further down." (Carroll, Lewis. The Nursery "Alice". Dover Publications (1966), p27.)
