John Twiname Gardner (2 August 1854, in South Molton - 15 February 1914, in Kensington) was a general practitioner and composer of much published parlour and light music. From 1888 to 1903 he worked as a family doctor in Ilfracombe, North Devon, where he conducted the local choral society and was generally a mainstay of musical life in the town. He was the grandfather of the well-known composer John Gardner.
J.T. Gardner's White Star Polka March was held in the music libraries of the ships of the White Star Line, including Titanic.
