John Rendell Street (19 October 1832 – 23 March 1891) was an Australian politician.
He was born at Woodlands near Bathurst to pastoralist John Street and Maria Rendell. In 1849 he became a businessman in Sydney, first with Smith, Crawford & Co., and then as a partner in Allen, Street & Norton. In 1885 he became managing director of the Perpetual Trustee Company. On 4 December 1860 he married Susanna Caroline Lawson, with whom he had seven children; a second marriage, on 23 April 1883 to Anna Maria Smith, produced no children. In 1887 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as a Free Trade member for East Sydney, a position he held until his death at Elizabeth Bay in 1891.[1]
