John Cabot (Italian: Giovanni Caboto, Venetian: Zuan Chabotto; c. 1450 – c. 1499) was an Italian explorer and navigator.

Commissioned by Henry VII of England, Cabot led an expedition to North America and documented the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. This expedition is commonly believed to have been the first European encounter with North America since the Viking discovery of Vinland in the eleventh century.[1]

In 2012, Cabot was included in a mnemonic set in Abstergo Industries' Project Legacy.[2]
