- John William Giffard CBE QPM (born 1951 or 1952) is a British retired police officer. Adopted into an aristocratic family that owns Chillington Hall, he joined Staffordshire Police in 1973 as a beat bobby. After serving as a staff officer to the chief constable and a divisional commander he moved to North Yorkshire Police in 1991 to take up a position as assistant chief constable. Giffard returned to Staffordshire Police in 1996 to become its chief constable, a role he held for a record ten years.

His work was recognised with the award of the Queen's Police Medal and appointment as a commander of the Order of the British Empire. In retirement Giffard served as a vice-president of the Association of Chief Police Officers and trustee of the Staffordshire Police Cadets. After inheriting Chillington Hall Giffard carried out a programme of restoration that was recognised, in 2009, with the Historic Houses Association/Sotheby's Restoration Award. (en)
