Sir John Cordy Burrows (1813 to 1876) was a British surgeon and civic leader in Brighton. Born in Ipswich, he was apprenticed to a surgeon in Framlingham, studied at Guy's and St Thomas's hospitals, qualified through the Society of Apothecaries in 1835 and joined the Royal College of Surgeons in 1836, becoming a fellow in 1852. He settled in Brighton in 1837 and began his own practice two years later. Alongside his medical work he helped found local learned institutions, advised on the town's sanitary condition so that the Health of Towns Act was adopted, took part in the purchase of the Royal Pavilion in 1849 and served as mayor in 1857 and 1858. He was knighted in 1873 and died in Brighton in 1876.
