John Grimshaw Wilkinson (6 January 1856 – 28 February 1937) was a British botanist from Leeds. He was visually impaired and was able to recognise individual plants by using his tongue to detect shape and texture. He assisted Leeds Parks Service in choosing suitable plants, and was President of the Leeds Naturalists' Club. In 1935 he was awarded an Honorary Degree by the University of Leeds. His extensive herbarium collection, compiled by his mother, is held by Leeds Museums & Galleries.
