John G. Carlisle (September 5, 1834 – July 31, 1910) was an American politician from the commonwealth of Kentucky and was a member of the Democratic Party. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives seven times, and served as Speaker of the House from 1883 to 1889. He subsequently served as a U.S. senator from Kentucky from 1890 to 1893, and then as Secretary of the Treasury from 1893 to 1897, during a serious economic depression.
