John Braithwaite, born on 30 July 1951, is an Australian citizen. From 2002 to 2020 he was a Distinguished Professor at the Australian National University and is currently Emeritus at the same institution. With Valerie Braithwaite, he founded the School of Regulation and Global Goverance (RegNet) at ANU. They were both early School Directors.

After graduating with majors in Psychology, Anthropology and Sociology at the University of Queensland, in 1977 he completed his PhD in Sociology there. He worked as a criminologist at the Australian Institute of Criminology, was CEO and Chair of the Australian Federation of Consumer Organizations, and was active in other social movements, including the labour movement, the environmental movement, and the peace movement. These were all connected in Braithwaite’s thought to a social movement for restorative justice in which he was also a hands-on organizer. He represented community groups during the 1980s on the Economic Planning Advisory Council that was chaired by the Prime Minister. He served between 1985 and 1995 as a part-time Commissioner on Australia’s national competition, consumer protection and product safety regulator, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. As well as serving the Australian government in many roles, he has also served the United Nations in various capacities.
