John Fisher

John Fisher (au John wa Rochester; 1469 – 22 Juni 1535) alikuwa askofu wa Kanisa Katoliki huko Uingereza. Pamoja na Thomas More, alimkataa mfalme Henry VIII aliyejitenga na Kanisa Katoliki la Roma. Kwa hiyo, John Fisher alifungwa na baada ya kushtakiwa mahakamani aliuawa kwa kukatwa kichwa. Hapo katikati Papa Paulo III alimteua kuwa kardinali https://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/27850.

Papa Leo XIII alimtangaza mwenye heri tarehe 29 Desemba 1886, halafu Papa Pius XI alimtangaza kuwa mtakatifu mfiadini tarehe 19 Mei 1935. 

Sikukuu yake inadhimishwa pamoja na ile ya Thomas More tarehe 22 Juni katika Kanisa KatolikiMartyrologium Romanum, na 6 Julai katika Jumuiya Anglikana.
