John Pym Yeatman (1830–1910) was a barrister, author, and a Roman Catholic. Yeatman earned a law degree from Emmanuel College and later became a fellow of the Royal Historical Society in England. Yeatman wrote a history book in 1874 which was well received in England titled An Introduction to the Study of Early English History, and then went on in 1879 to write a book on the Shemetic origins of the Anglo-Saxon people titled The Shemetic Origin of the Nations of Western Europe.
