John Debrett was a publisher and printer.

The first mentions in the diary are in a series of calls, alongside George Robinson and James Perry, in Nov 1795. After that all references are to his premises, 36 in total, 1795-7. According to the DNB, Debrett set up shop at John Almon's former business at 178 Piccadilly, London, in 1791, and hence inherited some of Almon's Whig patrons. The shop also became a fashionable hub for literary and political conversation. The Identification has been confirmed through matching dates and the long lists of people whom Godwin recorded meeting at Debrett's.
