St. John's is an electoral ward within the borough of Tunbridge Wells in Kent, covering a largely residential area a short distance from the town centre and its historic leisure quarter around The Pantiles.

Historically the neighbourhood expanded in the 19th and early 20th centuries and today supports a diverse community with active residents’ groups, local schools and small businesses; many residents commute while others work in Tunbridge Wells’ service and hospitality sectors.
