John William Carlin (born August 3, 1940, in Salina, Kansas[1]), served as fortieth Governor of Kansas from 1979 to 1987, and Archivist of the United States from May 30, 1995, to February 15, 2005[2].

Carlin was raised in the Saline County, Kansas community of Smolan, attended Kansas State University, and earned a degree in dairy science.

A quiet, mild mannered dairy farmer, he ran for a seat in the Kansas House of Representatives, in 1970. In 1979 he became the youngest 20th century governor of Kansas, defeating the incumbent.[1] In 1990, he lost the Democratic nomination for Governor to then-State Treasurer Joan Finney. He also ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994.

Appointed by President Bill Clinton, Carlin served as the Archivist of the United States from 1995 to 2005, in Washington, D.C.. After a dispute about Executive Order 13233, Carlin's term as Archivist was not renewed[3] by the Bush Administration.

After his retirement he returned to Manhattan, Kansas, where he teaches political science at Kansas State University.
