John Paterson (died 1832) was a Scottish architect who trained with Robert Adam (1728-1792) whom he assisted with his work on Edinburgh University Old College and Seton House Castle.[1][2]

The original concept for a road on the line of what is now Waterloo Place in Edinburgh was mooted by Paterson as early as 1790.[3]

Just before death he is listed as living at 24 Buccleuch Place in Edinburgh's south side, just south of George Square.[4]
