John Dillard Bellamy Jr. (March 24, 1854 – September 25, 1942) was a Democratic U.S. Congressman from North Carolina from 1899 to 1903, elected in the wake of the Wilmington massacre, in which he was identified as one of the leaders of a mob who destroyed black property. He was close to the South Carolina Red Shirts in their campaign against local newspaper editor Alex Manly. He also served as a member of the North Carolina Senate from 1891 to 1892.
