John of Freiburg-Neuchâtel (died 1458) was a son of Conrad of Freiburg and his wife, Marie of Vergy.He succeeded his father as Count of Neuchâtel in 1421.He is, however, not in a hurry to pay homage to his father-in-law John III of Chalon-Arlay.In 1444, he joined the alliance of the Dauphin Louis and a number of Swiss cantons against the Habsburgs.
In 1452, the childless John considered leaving his county after his death of his friend Rudolf IV of Baden-Sausenberg.His liege lord Louis II of Chalon-Arlay reminded him that he still hadn't paid homage.John reluctantly did this, and left his possessions to Rudolph IV in his will.
