John Harvey (born December 21 1938 in London) is a British author of crime fiction most famous for his series of jazz-influenced Charlie Resnick novels, based in the City of Nottingham. Harvey has also published over 90 books under various names, and has worked on scripts for TV and radio. The first Resnick novel, Lonely Hearts, was published in 1989, and was named by The Times as one of the 100 Greatest Crime Novels of the Century. Harvey brought the series to an end in 1998 with Last Rites, though Resnick has since made peripheral appearances in Harvey's new Frank Elder series. The protagonist Elder is a retired detective who now lives, as Harvey briefly did, in Cornwall. The first novel in this series, Flesh and Blood, won Harvey the Crime Writers' Association Silver Dagger in 2004, an accolade many crime fiction critics thought long overdue. In 2007 he was awarded the Diamond Dagger for a Lifetime's Contribution to the genre. He is also a big Notts County fan.

John Edgar Harvey CBE (4 April 1920 - 13 January 2008) was a British Conservative Party politician.

Harvey was born in Derry. He attended Xavierian College in Bruges and Lyme Regis Grammar School. During the Second World War he served in the Merchant Navy.

He was elected at the 1955 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Walthamstow East, winning the seat with a majority of 1,129 over the sitting Labour MP Harry Wallace. Harvey held his seat at he next two general elections, until his defeat at the 1966 election by Labour's William Robinson. Harvey lived in Loughton, and was a verderer of Epping Forest.

John Harvey (September 27, 1939 — August 20, 2003) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm offbreak bowler.

Born in Barnstaple, Harvey started his first-class career playing one game with Marylebone Cricket Club in 1961. He was picked up by Derbyshire in 1963 and, after three matches, made his debut in that year's County Championship against Somerset. He slowly progressed with the bat, and finished the season with a century under his belt. Though his average fluctuated over following seasons, he continued to perform well throughout the inconsistent times of the mid-1960s, and, a season after Derbyshire's impressive showing of 1967, scored his best season average of in excess of 31.

With one season out of the game during his eleven-year spell, Harvey saw the team through some tough times, heading the opening order on his peak form, but happy to perform in the middle order when his form was suffering. The late 1960s saw an upturn in Derbyshire's form, which collapsed in the early-70s, as they finished bottom of the league in 1971 and 1972.

Harvey left the Derbyshire first team in 1972, and in the later stages of his career he played for Berkshire. Joining them in 1978, he represented them until the age of 46, in the Minor Counties Championship. Though he had slipped down the order in his advanced age, from his County Cricketing position of a consistent opener, he continued to turn in good performances for the Minor League side.

Harvey died in Bradfield in 2003. In 1962 he umpired two matches for Marylebone Cricket Club.

Sir John Harvey (d.1646) was a British Colonial Governor of Virginia. He was elected to the position on March 26, 1628. In 1635 he was suspended and impeached by the House of Burgesses (who named John West as a temporary replacement), and he returned to England. He was restored to his post by the King in 1636 and returned to Virginia the following year. His government has been described as tyrannical and Harvey himself has been called "an obnoxious ruler" and was generally held to be unpopular.

In 1639 Harvey was replaced as governor by Sir Francis Wyatt.

Captain John Harvey (9 July, 1740 - 30 June, 1794) was an officer of the British Royal Navy whose death in the aftermath of the battle of the Glorious First of June where he had commanded the HMS Brunswick terminated a long and highly successful career and made him a celebrity in Britain, a memorial to his memory being raised in Westminster Abbey.

Admiral Sir John Harvey, KCB (1772 - 17 September, 1837) was an officer of the British Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars who held numerous commands and served in several actions during his long and distinguished career.

John Harvey (born in Sydney) is an Australian former racing driver. He was a top speedway driver for many years in the 1960’s. After switching from speedway to road racing, Harvey drove cars such as the Morris Cooper and Brabham BT23 Repco. Harvey won the 1966 Australian 1½ Litre Championship driving a Repco Brabham Ford. He began an involvement with Bob Jane’s racing team in the late 1960's and moved to Melbourne. Harvey won the 1971 and 1972 Australian Sports Car Championships driving the McLaren M6 Repco for Bob Jane. He drove a Repco V8 Torana in sports sedan racing in the early 1970’s. In 1973 Harvey, in the Repco V8 Torana, won the competitive Toby Lee Sports Sedan Series at Oran Park.

In 1976 John Harvey unexpectedly won the first round of the Australian Touring Car Championship in a one-off drive in a B&D Autos-sponsored Torana L34 at Symmons Plains. Later in the year Harvey was signed up to co-drive with Colin Bond in the Holden Dealer Team Torana L34 which finished a close second in the Bathurst 1000. With Bond leaving the Holden team at the end of 1976, Harvey then became the lead driver for the team for the 1977 season.

In 1978 Peter Brock re-joined the Holden Dealer Team and became No.1 driver with Harvey driving the No.2 car. This established the pattern for almost a decade. The Harvey car effectively becoming Brock’s backup. Although Harvey won the Bathurst 1000 in 1983 in a dealer team Holden Commodore it was in controversial circumstances as Harvey was told after stepping out of the car at the first pitstop that he would not be required for the rest of the race, as Brock and his co-driver Larry Perkins took over the car (their Commodore having retired from the race).

Harvey split with Brock by 1987, being unhappy with Brock’s flirtation with ‘New Age’ ideas like his ‘Energy Polariser’. Harvey told his side of the story of the split in Bill Tuckey’s 1987 book The Rise and Fall of Peter Brock.

In March 1987 Harvey teamed up with Allan Moffat to drive a Commodore to a surprise victory in the first round of the 1987 World Touring Car Championship at the famous Monza circuit in Italy. Most of the leading BMW M3's and Ford Sierras had been disqualified from the race.

John Harvey was a Cornishman whose career started as a blacksmith and engineer at Carnhell Green near Hayle, in West Cornwall. In 1779 he established a foundry and engineering works at Hayle called Harvey & Co. By 1800 the company employed more than 50 people and continued to grow as Harvey worked with many of the great Cornish engineers and entrepreneurs of the day. These included Richard Trevithick, William West and Arthur Woolf. In 1797, Harvey's daughter, Jane, married Richard Trevithick.

Harvey & Co built up a reputation for world class stationary beam engines designed to pump water out of the deep Cornish tin and copper mines. The Cornish beam engine became world famous and was exported overseas and they remain the largest beam engines ever constructed. Harveys also produced a range of products, from hand tools to ocean going ships including the USS Cornubia (1858). The company was expanded by John's son, Henry, in collaboration with Arthur Woolf and at that time it was the main mining engine foundry in the world, with an international market served through their own port at Foundry town, Hayle.

Harvey's of Hayle reached their peek in the early to mid 1800s and then, along with the Cornish mining industry, suffered a gradual and slow decline. Harvey's acquired the Cornish Copper Company in 1875 and the engineering works and foundry were closed in 1903 although the company continued to trade as a general and builders merchant, eventually merging with UBM to become Harvey-UBM in 1969.

He stayed with Double Dare Until 1992, when he quit to stay home with his new son Caleb.

Has had a radio morning show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania called "Harvey in the Morning" since the early 70s.

Played guitar in a country-rock band.
