John Martin Feeney (1 Februari 1894 – 31 Agustus 1973), lebih dikenal sebagai John Ford, adalah seorang sutradara dan produser film Amerika. Ia dianggap sebagai salah satu pembuat film paling penting dan berpengaruh selama Zaman Keemasan Hollywood,[2] dan merupakan salah satu sutradara Amerika pertama yang diakui sebagai auteur.[3][4] Dalam kariernya yang lebih dari 50 tahun, ia menyutradarai lebih dari 130 film antara tahun 1917 dan 1970 (meskipun sebagian besar film bisunya kini menjadi hilang), dan menerima rekor empat Academy Award untuk Sutradara Terbaik atas The Informer (1935), The Grapes of Wrath (1940), How Green Was My Valley (1941), dan The Quiet Man (1952).
Ford terkenal karena film-film Baratnya, seperti Stagecoach (1939), My Darling Clementine (1946), Fort Apache (1948), The Searchers (1956), dan The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962); meskipun ia bekerja di banyak genre lain, termasuk komedi, drama periode, dan dokumenter. Ia sering menggunakan pengambilan gambar lokasi dan pengambilan gambar lebar, di mana karakternya dibingkai dengan latar medan alam yang luas, keras, dan terjal. Dia dianggap sebagai orang yang meluncurkan karier beberapa bintang Hollywood terbesar pada tahun 1930-an, 1940-an, dan 1950-an, termasuk John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Maureen O'Hara dan James Stewart.
Karya Ford sangat dihormati oleh orang-orang sezamannya, dengan Akira Kurosawa, Orson Welles, Frank Capra,[5] Andrei Tarkovsky, dan Ingmar Bergman menobatkannya sebagai salah satu sutradara terbaik sepanjang masa.[6] Generasi sutradara berikutnya, termasuk banyak tokoh utama gerakan New Hollywood, telah mengutip pengaruhnya.[5][7] Harvard Film Archive menulis bahwa "luas dan ukuran kontribusi utama Ford terhadap Zaman Keemasan sinema Hollywood, dan bahasa film secara umum, masih agak sulit untuk dibedakan.... Jarang diakui secara penuh adalah pencapaian besar Ford sebagai penata visual yang sempurna dan pendongeng ulung."[4]
