John Crawford (born John Buckner Crawford on January 17, 1960) is a singer/songwriter whose efforts with the band Berlin were an essential part of their rise to fame in the early 1980s. Crawford's career as a musician began in junior high after breaking his leg during a basketball game. In an attempt to fight off the boredom of being injured, he picked up a guitar and began taking lessons at a musical instrument retailer in nearby Fullerton, California, where his teacher put him in touch with future Berlin band members Dan Van Patten and Chris Velasco. John attended El Dorado High School in Placentia, California.

The three soon formed a band called The Toys with vocalist Ty Cobb at the helm. The band’s first performance was at a Sadie Hawkins dance at Crawford’s high school of the time. Crawford, Cobb and the others were influenced by then-current punk rockers like the Sex Pistols along with techno rockers Ultravox, though Crawford has cited KISS as an early influence as well.

After a name change to _Berlin, Cobb was out and a string of vocalists ensued. In 1980 Berlin released Information on Zone H. Records with Virginia Macolino fronting the group. The band signed to I.R.S. records briefly in 1980, releasing the single A Matter of Time, before suddenly disbanding in 1981.

John Crawford (1830 -1861) was a talented Scottish Sculptor, apprenticed to John Mossman. He attended Glasgow School of Art, where he won many prizes and attracted the attention of art collectors. He set up his own studio (at 28 Mason Street) in 1858 and was one of the many British sculptors who worked with John Thomas on the new Houses of Parliament. He and most of his family died in the typhus epidemic of 1861 - the same one that carried away Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

The quality of his work is evident from the carved heads on Alexander’s School (later St Kentigern's Annex) in Duke Street Glasgow. Other work has been demolished or lost, though the armorial set on the Bank of Scotland in Carlton Place still exists.

His son John M Crawford (1854 - ) became an architect, designing among others, Dennistoun Baptist Church in Craigpark Drive (1907)
