Sir John Cordell, 3rd Baronet (baptized 11 November 1677-died 8 May 1704) was an English politician.

He was only son of Sir John Cordell, 2nd Baronet, to whose baronetcy and estates at Long Melford, Suffolk, he succeeded in 1690 as a child.

He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Sudbury February to November 1701. During that period he was one of a number of Members who were blacklisted for opposing preparations for war against France. He stood down in favour of his father-in-law, Joseph Haskins Styles, acting as his agent in the succeeding elections.

He married Eleanor Styles on 24 December (Christmas Eve) in 1701, but had no children. After he was killed in a fall from his horse in 1704 his baronetcy became extinct and his estates were divided between his two sisters.
