John Sheppard (around 1515–1559 or 1560) was an English composer and organist.
He was choirmaster at Magdalen College, Oxford from 1543–1548, and was a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal by no later than 1552.
His works, which are typically richly polyphonic, include motets, two Magnificats, five masses, including one based on the song " The Western Wynde" (also the basis of masses by John Taverner and Christopher Tye), and works in English for Anglican services.
