John Anderson, D.D. (c. 1748 – April 6, 1830) was a Scottish-born Associate Presbyterian minister, professor, and theologian who came to America in 1783 and was ordained in Philadelphia in 1788 before serving congregations in western Pennsylvania and promoting the Associate Presbyterian cause. He was appointed Professor of Theology for the Associate Church in 1792 and taught future ministers while also publishing influential works such as Vindiciae Cantus Dominici and Alexander and Rufus defending Reformed worship and communion practices. Anderson labored for decades in pastoral and theological education until his death in 1830, leaving a legacy preserved in both historical sketches and collections of his sermons and writings.
