The Right Rev. John Reginald Weller, MA (6 October 1880 – 26 October 1969) was an Anglican priest: the Bishop of the Falkland Islands from 1934 to 1937; and of Argentina and Eastern South America from then until 1946.

He was educated at Bedford School and Selwyn College, Cambridge; and, after an earlier career as a tea planter, he was ordained in 1914. He served in Delhi, Waziristan, Mesopotamia and Quetta (after 1917 as a military Chaplain). He was the Superintendent of the Missions to Seamen in Melbourne and then Merseyside before his elevation to the Episcopate.
