John Greville Agard Pocock (born 7 March 1924), as a writer known as J. G. A. Pocock, is a historian noted for his erudite studies of republicanism in the early modern period (especially in Europe, Britain, and America), for his treatment of Edward Gibbon and his contemporaries as historians of Enlightenment, and, in historical method, for his contributions to the history of political discourse. Born in England, after spending most of his early life in New Zealand he moved to the United States in 1966, where since 1975 he has had tenure at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.
