John Henry Towers CBE (January 30, 1885 – April 30, 1955) was a highly decorated United States Navy four-star Admiral and pioneer naval aviator. He made important contributions to the technical and organizational development of naval aviation from its beginnings, eventually serving as Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics (1939–1942). He commanded carrier task forces during World War II, and retired in December 1947. He and Marc Mitscher were the only early Naval Aviation pioneers to survive the hazards of early flight to remain with naval aviation throughout their careers. Towers spent his last years supporting aeronautical research and advising the aviation industry.

Il fut un pionnier de l'aviation navale, et fut le premier de ces pionniers à être promu amiral. Pendant la campagne du Pacifique, comme chef des forces aériennes de la Flotte du Pacifique, puis comme Adjoint (Air) du Commandant-en-Chef des Zones de l'Océan Pacifique, il a grandement contribué au développement des forces aéronavales mais ses qualités reconnues d'administrateur ont contribué à ne lui confier, pendant la guerre, que des postes d'état-major à terre, et pas de commandement à la mer, alors qu'il était un partisan farouche de réserver les commandements des forces navales américaines à des aviateurs navals. Il est considéré comme « le Père de l'Aéro (fr)
