John I (died on 24 March 1386) was a member of the House of Auvergne who reigned as Count of Auvergne and Count of Boulogne from 1361 until his death. He was the eldest son of Robert VII, Count of Auvergne and Boulogne, by his second wife, Marie of Dampierre.[1] Auvergne and Boulogne were inherited by John's elder half-brother, William XII, passing to William's only child, Joan I, and then to her only child, Philip II. When the adolescent Count Philip died following a riding accident, the counties passed to John I, his granduncle.

In 1328, John I married Joan of Clermont. They had:

  • Marie married Raymond VII, Viscount of Turenne[1]
  • John II,[2] succeeded to the counties of Auvergne and Boulogne
  • Jeanne married Beraud of Auvergne[1]
