John Chubb (10 December 1816 – 30 October 1872), was an English locksmith and inventor who patented many improvements to locks, safes and strong rooms.[1]

He succeeded his father Charles Chubb, who had founded the family company of Chubb & Son.

He wrote an important paper on locks and keys, for which he was awarded the Telford Medal in 1850 by the Institution of Civil Engineers.[1]

He married twice. His three sons John, George and Henry succeeded him in running the business, of whom George became Baron Hayter of Chislehurst in 1928.
