John Mayhew was the third drummer (percussion, vocals) for the progressive rock band Genesis (September 1969 - July 1970). He replaced previous drummer, John Silver in August 1969. He appears on the album Trespass as well as the Genesis Archive 1967-75 box set. He was replaced in 1970 by Phil Collins.

For many years Mayhew's post-Genesis life was a mystery to most fans. It was said that his Trespass royalty check had gone unclaimed, and there was speculation that he was dead or missing. In 1979 he moved to Australia, where he eventually found work as a carpenter. In 1989 he briefly returned to England to visit his ailing mother. In 2006 he attended the Genesis Convention in London (along with Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett), even playing drums for a tribute band's performance of "The Knife" (from Trespass).
