Colonel John "Tinker" Fox (1610–1650), sometimes mistaken for the MP Thomas Fox, was a parliamentarian soldier in the English Civil War. Commanding a garrison at Edgbaston House in Warwickshire – a location that guarded the main roads from strongly parliamentarian Birmingham to royalist Worcestershire – Fox operated largely independently of the parliamentarian hierarchy, all factions of which tended to view him with suspicion.
