John MacGregor (1797 - 1857) was a Scottish statistician and politician. His family emigrated to Canada in 1803, sailing to Pictou, Nova Scotia. In 1806 they moved to Covehead on Prince Edward Island. As a young man MacGregor set up as a merchant in Charlottetown. In 1822 he served in the office of high sheriff; he was dismissed as a result of involvement in the dealings of Charles Douglass Smith. Put on trial at Smith's behest, he became popular and in 1824 a member of the House of Assembly. He left Canada, travelling through North America, collecting statistics.
