'''Sir John Denis Mahon''', {{postnominals|country=GBR|CH|CBE|FBA|sep=,|size=100%}} (8 November 1910 – 24 April 2011) was a British collector and historian of Italian art. Considered to be one of the few art collectors who was also a respected scholar, he is generally credited, alongside [[Sacheverell Sitwell]] and [[Tancred Borenius]], with bringing Italian pre-Baroque and [[Italian Baroque art|Baroque painters]] to the attention of English-speaking audiences, reversing the critical aversion to their work that had prevailed from the time of [[John Ruskin]].
