John Harold Hawkins (c. 1892 – June 8, 1961)[1] was a justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia from 1949 to 1960.
When William Franklin Jenkins retired as chief justice in 1948, and Associate Justice William Henry Duckworth was elevated to chief justice, L. C. Groves was temporarily appointed to the vacated associate justice seat, and Hawkins quickly succeeded Hawkins.[2]
