John de Verdion (born Theodora Grahn; c. 1744 – 15 July 1802) was a German-born bookseller, language instructor, and translator. Born the only child of an architect, he worked as an exchange broker during the Seven Years' War and began presenting himself as a man in his 20s in Bayreuth, where he worked as a secretary for the educational reformer Johann Bernhard Basedow. Suspicions about his sex led to his dismissal from Basedow's employ and after an incident where his clothes were torn off by a group of men, he moved to London in 1770.
