John Culpeper IV (1644–1694) was a Barbadian politician, surveyor, and rebel leader in Colonial America, during the seventeenth century, best known for his role in what came to be called Culpeper's Rebellion (1677), an armed uprising in the Albemarle region of the Province of Carolina against proprietary rule and the enforcement of the Navigation Acts. His rebellion was one of the only instances of large scale anti-British Crown rebellions in the early colonial period, next to Bacon's Rebellion.
