John William Dunnington (May 18, 1833 – March 10, 1882) was a Confederate military officer in the American Civil War. Born in 1833 in Kentucky, Dunnington joined the United States Navy in 1849 and graduated from the United States Naval Academy six years later. With the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, Dunnington resigned his naval commission and joined the Confederacy, being appointed as an officer in the Confederate States Navy. He commanded the gunboat CSS Tuscarora from August of that year until the vessel burned in November. After a stint aboard the gunboat CSS McRae, Dunnington took command of the gunboat CSS Pontchartrain in early 1862 and saw action at the Battle of Island Number Ten. On June 17, Dunnington and a detachment from Pontchartrain operated two guns taken from the vessel as part of the Confederate defenses in the Battle of St. Charles.
