John Verelst (c. 1670 – 7 March 1734) was an Anglo-Dutch portrait painter. He was the third son of Herman Verelst (a portrait painter) and Cecilia Fend. He is known mainly for a royal commission for portraits of the men known at the time as the Four Indian Kings, who visited Queen Anne in 1710 from the Province of New York in North America. John Verelst is often confused with his uncle, John Verelst (1648-1679).
