John Sutherland Whitewright (Chinese: 怀; pinyin: Huái Ēnguāng, 5 September 1858 in Edinburgh – 10 January 1926 in Tianjin) was a British Baptist missionary to China in the late 19th and early 20th century. He arrived in the city of Qingzhou, Shandong province in 1880[1] or in 1881.[2] In 1886, he started a theological college in Qingzhou that would later develop into Gotch-Robinson Theological College.[2] He directed the college with the assistance of Alfred G. Jones and J. Percy Bruce. In 1887, he established the Yidu Museum (named after the former Yidu County) in Qingzhou.[3] In 1904, he moved with the museum to Jinan, where the museum became the Guangzhi Yuan. In 1917, he taught at the divinity school of Cheeloo University.[1] His museum became a forerunner of the Shandong Provincial Museum.
