John Schickel (born March 29, 1954) is an American Republican politician. He is a member of the Kentucky State Senate, being first elected in 2008.[1][2] He is not running for reelection in 2024.

Schickel earned an M.P.A. degree from Northern Kentucky University.[3] A retired law enforcement officer,[3] he served as a Florence police officer for over a decade, the Boone County jailer from 1987 through 2001, and a U.S. marshal for the Eastern District of Kentucky from 2002 through 2008.[4][5]

Senator Schickel has filed suit to overturn a $1000 (one thousand dollar) limit on undisclosed gifts to elected officials in Kentucky—as a violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.[6]
