John Marshall Spink (1855–1943) was a prominent English silversmith. Born in London, he became a key figure in the firm's evolution from a pawnbroking business to a renowned producer of fine silverware and commemorative medals. Under his leadership, Spink & Son Ltd expanded its operations, including the acquisition of the Soho Mint in 1880, which enabled the company to design and manufacture its own medals.
