John de Beauchamp, 1st Baron Beauchamp (first creation)

John de Beauchamp, 1st Baron Beauchamp "de Somerset" (25 July 1274 – October/December 1336), was feudal baron of Hatch in Somerset.

He was born on 25 July 1274, the son and heir of John de Beauchamp (died 1283), feudal baron of Hatch, seated at Hatch Beauchamp in Somerset, by his wife Cicely de Vivonne/de Forz (died 1320), one of the four daughters and co-heiresses of William de Vivonne/de Forz (died 1259), who had held a half share of the feudal barony of Curry Mallet in Somerset. Cicely thus inherited a one-eighth share of the barony of Curry Malet. In 1299 he was created by writ Baron Beauchamp "de Somerset".

At some time before 1301 he married Joan Chenduit. His eldest son and heir was John de Beauchamp, 2nd Baron Beauchamp (1304–1343), and their other children included William, Joan, Alienor and Beatrice.

He died between October and December 1336.
