John Whitney Hall was one of the foremost historians of Japan in the Anglophone world in the postwar years. His work on pre-modern and early modern Japan forms an important foundation for much work on those periods today.
He was the son of M. Ernest Hall and Marjorie Whitney Hall.<ref>J.W. Hall, 'Tanuma Okitsugu: Forerunner of Modern Japan'', Harvard University Press (1955), v-ix.</ref>
