John Van Zandt (died 1847) was an abolitionist who aided the Underground Railroad resistance movement in Ohio after having been a slaveholder in Kentucky. Sued for monetary damages by a slaveholder whose escaped slaves he aided, he was a party to Jones v. Van Zandt (1847), a case by which abolitionists intended to challenge the constitutionality of slavery. The case was decided by the United States Supreme Court against Van Zandt; it upheld the right of Congress and the obligation of the government to protect slavery, as it was established under the Constitution. Van Zandt was ruined financially by the decision and died later that year.

- John Van Zandt (fallecido 1847) era un abolicionista que apoyó la red clandestina de escape para los esclavos en Ohio después de haber sido un dueño de esclavos en Kentucky. Van Zandt era el demandado en un pleito interpuso por Wharton Jones, el dueño de esclavos fugitivos ayudados por Van Zandt. Este proceso resultó finalmente en el recurso Jones v. Van Zandt (1847) ante el Tribunal Supremo Estadounidense, el primer caso usado por los abolicionistas para probar la constitucionalidad de la esclavitud. Van Zandt no sólo perdió la apelación sino también la Corte Suprema ratificó el derecho del Congreso y la obligación del gobierno de proteger la institución de la esclavitud como establecida por la Constitución. El fallo llevó a Van Zandt a la bancarrota y falleció más tarde ese año. (es)
