John Price (c. 1677 – 31 May 1718) was an English hangman who was himself hanged for murder. He was born in London and apprenticed at an early age to a dealer in "scraps and rags" until the death of his master two years later. Little else is known of Price's early life except that he went to sea and served on Royal Navy men-of-war.Price appears to have lived constantly on the edge of the law; on one occasion in 1715, after executing three men at Tyburn, he was arrested for debt.
