John Oliphant (died 1905) was a Scottish portrait painter, working in the 19th century.
In the 1830s he is listed as operating from a studio at 14 Waterloo Place, at the east end of Princes Street in Edinburgh. [1] His most productive period seems to have been 1830 to 1860.
From 1897 to 1898 Oliphant served as a member of the ruling council of the Cockburn Association, Edinburgh's influential conservation organisation that was founded in 1875. [2]
Oliphant was brother to the stained glass artist Francis Wilson Oliphant. He was first cousin of and brother-in-law to Margaret Oliphant, the author. He died in 1905, probably in Edinburgh.
