John Weiler (26 August 1824 – 6 September 1899) was a Past Master of Victoria-Columbia Lodge No. 1 in Victoria, B.C.

We will add more biographical information in the near future.

He owned a furniture manufacturing company in downtown Victoria. The building John Weiler built as a warehouse, factory and showroom for his furniture business is still standing at 1005 Broad Street, at the intersection of Broad Street and Broughton Street, in downtown Victoria. It was designed by architect Thomas Trounce (also a member of Victoria-Columbia Lodge No. 1) and is listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places.
