John of Vaudémont (d. 1473) was a younger son of Antoine of Vaudémont and Marie of Harcourt.
His mother was the eldest daughter of John VI of Harcourt, Count of Harcourt and Aumale, and after the death of her brother John VII of Harcourt in 1424, her father's heir. In anticipation of this, she assigned to John the County of Harcourt in 1448. In 1449, at the breakdown of the Truce of Tours, he was sent as an ambassador to the Duke of Burgundy by King Charles VII.
In 1452, his maternal grandfather died, but he divided his inheritance between his two daughters, leaving Aumale and Elbeuf to Marie and Harcourt to Jeanne. Although he used the title of "Count of Harcourt," John was not able to gain control of the county.
He was appointed captain of Angers in 1469, and later seneschal and governor of Anjou. He died in 1473, unmarried, and was succeeded by his nephew René.
