John Hullier or Hulliarde, Huller or Hullyer, (c. 1520 – 16 April 1556) was an English clergyman and a Protestant martyr under Mary I of England.

He was educated at Eton College and King's College, Cambridge. He became vicar of Babraham, Cambridgeshire in 1549 until he was deprived in February 1556.

For his preaching in King's Lynn he was taken to Thomas Thirlby, Bishop of Ely, who sent him to Cambridge. Hullier was examined on Palm Sunday eve 28 March before a body of divines and lawyers headed by Nicholas Shaxton, at Great St Mary's, Cambridge.

On Maundy Thursday, 16 April 1556 Hullier was burned at the stake on Jesus Green, Cambridge for refusing to renounce the Protestant faith.
