John Calvin Coolidge (September 6, 1906 — May 31, 2000) was the first son of Calvin Coolidge and Grace Coolidge.
Coolidge went to Mercersburg Academy in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, with his brother Calvin and graduated in 1924. He then attended Amherst College, his father's alma mater, and graduated in 1928. In 1929 he married Florence Trumbull, daughter of Connecticut governor John H. Trumbull. He was an executive with the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. He served as president of the Connecticut Manifold Forms Company until 1960, when he reopened the Plymouth Cheese Corporation in Plymouth at the historic village. He helped start the Coolidge Foundation and his gifts of buildings, land, and artifacts were instrumental in creating the President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site.
He is survived by a daughter, son-in-law, three grandchildren, and two great grandchildren.
