John Sidney McCain III (f. 29. august 1936 í Panama - 25. august 2018) var senatorur í Arizona. Hann stillaði upp, sum forsetavalevni, ímóti Barack Hussein Obama (D) í 2008. Hann er eisini senatorur í Arizona. Sarah Palin var varaforsetavalevni hjá John McCain, tá hann í 2008 var forsetavalevni hjá Republikanarunum.

John McCain var flogskipari í amerikanska herinum undir Vietnamkrígnum. Undir krígnum var hann skotin niður og tikin sum krígsfangi. Hann sat fangaður í Vietnam í fimm og eitt hálvt ár. McCain royndi tvær ferðir at gerast amerikanskur forseti. Í ár 2000 tapti hann uppstillingarvalið hjá republikanarunum til George W. Bush. Í 2008 eydnaðist tað honum at gerast republikanska forsetavalevnið, men hann tapti valið til demokratiska umboðið, Barack Obama.

Bæði dóttur hansara, Meghan McCain, og kona hansara, Cindy McCain, hava boðað amerikanska fólkinum frá at tær eru fyri at samkynd kunnu giftast. McCain sjálvur vil kortini enn vera við, at hann bara heldur, at kvinna og maður kunnu giftast við hvør øðrum. John McCain var ein av teimum, sum syrgdu fyri, at samkynd fólk ikki kunnu giftast í Arizona, og McCain familjan er ein hin best kenda republikanska familjan í Arizona.
