Eleanor Rykener, also known as John, was a 14th-century sex worker arrested in December 1394 for performing a sex act with John Britby, a man who was a former chaplain of the St Margaret Pattens church, in London's Cheapside while dressed as a woman. Although historians tentatively link Rykener to a prisoner of the same name, the only known facts of the sex worker's life come from an interrogation made by the mayor of London. Rykener was questioned on two offences: prostitution and sodomy. Prostitutes were not usually arrested in London during this period, while sodomy was an offence against morality rather than common law, and so pursued in ecclesiastical courts. There is no evidence that Rykener was prosecuted for either crime.

Meskipun sejarawan sempat mengaitkan Rykener dengan seorang tahanan dengan nama yang sama, fakta-fakta mengenai kehidupan John Rykener hanya diketahui dari hasil interogasi yang dilakukan oleh wali kota London. Rykener diinterogasi karena ia dituduh telah melakukan dua pelanggaran, yaitu pelacuran dan sodomi. Pelacur biasanya tidak ditangkap di London pada masa ini, sementara sodomi dianggap sebagai pelanggaran terhadap moralitas dan bukan pelanggaran hukum umum, dan dengan demikian ia diadili di pengadilan gerejawi. Tidak ada bukti bahwa Rykener diadili at (in)
