Sir John Henry Kennaway, 3rd Baronet PC DL (6 June 1837 – 6 September 1919) was an English Conservative Party politician.
He was Member of Parliament (MP) for East Devon from 1870 to 1885, when the constituency was abolished by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885. He was then MP for the new Honiton constituency from 1885 until the January 1910 general election.
Kennaway was made a Privy Counsellor in 1897, and from 1908 to 1910 he was Father of the House of Commons. In 1904 he was appointed as a member[1] of the Royal Commission On Ecclesiastical Discipline, which reported in 1906, recommending the repeal of the Public Worship Regulation Act 1874.
He also served as President of the Church Missionary Society.
He was a governor at the Kings School Ottery St Mary. As homage to him the school has named one of its houses after him—Kennaway.
