John Harewell was a Bishop of Bath and Wells in medieval England.

Harewell came from Harwell in Berkshire (now in Oxfordshire). He was in the employ of the Black Prince,[1] before being collated Archdeacon of Berkshire in 1365[2] and then selected, on 14 December 1366, as Bishop of Bath and Wells. He was consecrated on 7 March 1367 and died around 16 July 1386.[3] His executors are listed[4] as John Harewell; John Bryngton; John Grene, of Welles, canon; John de Tuttebury, in 1399 (1 Henry IV).
