Admiral John Byng (baptised 29 October 1704 – 14 March 1757) was a Royal Navy officer and a politician. Joining the Navy at thirteen, he would participate in battles, such as the Battle of Cape Passaro, and gain a reputation as a solid officer—eventually, a vice-admiral. Amidst his naval career, he served as Commodore-Governor of Newfoundland Colony in 1742, and the Commander-in-Chief, Leith, from 1745 to 1746, and he was a member of Parliament from 1751 to his death.
