John Summerfield Enos (1825 – March 30, 1898) was an American attorney and politician who served as the eighth district attorney of Fulton County, New York from 1853 to 1859, in the California State Senate from 1880 to 1883, and as the first commissioner of the California Bureau of Labor Statistics from 1883 to 1887.

Enos was an unsuccessful candidate for district attorney of San Francisco in 1877 and judge of the police court in 1886, 1894 and 1896. He was also nominated for Congress in 1880 and 1890, but declined the nomination both times. During his career, he supported several third parties attempting to break the rule of political bosses in the city.
