J. Warrington Haward FRCS (13 November 1841 – 20 August 1921) was an English surgeon, noteworthy as the last President of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of London before it became expanded into the Royal Society of Medicine.

The youngest surviving son in a family with ten children, J. Warrington Haward was the grand-nephew of the engraver Francis Haward.

In 1878–1880 he was Visiting Surgeon to Atkinson Morley's Convalescent Hospital in succession to Pick. In 1868 he was made F.R.C.S. and for more than thirty years gave active service to many charities and committees. He was the president of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society in 1906–1907 and the president of the surgical section of the Royal Society of Medicine in 1908–1909.
