John Wilhelm Rowntree (1868 – 1905) was a chocolate and confectionery manufacturer and Quaker religious activist and reformer. He played a large part in enabling the Religious Society of Friends to incorporate an understanding of modern science (such as the theory of evolution), modern biblical criticism, and the social meaning of Jesus's teaching into their belief systems. He helped establish Woodbrooke, the Quaker study center in Bournville, Birmingham.
