John Immyns

John Immyns (1700 – April 15, 1764) was an English attorney and lutenist.

Immyns taught himself to play the lute at the age of 40, and was a connoisseur and collector of old music. He founded the Madrigal Society in 1741, and in 1752 became lutenist to the Chapel Royal. He was also a member of the Academy of Ancient Music, and served as amanuensis to Johann Christoph Pepusch.
