John Allen Cowell Kennedy Nivison (22 March 1910 – 5 December 2003) was a Manx politician who served as President of the Legislative Council of the Isle of Man.
He was first elected as an MHK for Middle in 1948 and became a Member of the Legislative Council in 1962. He continued as a Member of the Council until his retirement in 1988, having completed 40 years of service.

He also served as Chairman of the Board of Social Security, in which role he was instrumental in carrying forward the National Insurance Reciprocal Agreement, also on the Airports Board, and the Tourist Board. He was also for some time, Chairman of the Isle of Man Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.
Nivison was a man well recognised in the community, as well as in Tynwald, and he was greatlyinvolved in many aspects of Island life, being the chairman of many a country eisteddfod, an Onchan Commissioner and Captain of the Parish of Onchan.
