The author of the Gospel of John is always referred to in it as "The Disciple that Jesus Loved" and never by name. Christian tradition assigns the authorship to John the Evangelist, although many modern scholars dispute this.
1 John is widely accepted by both tradition and modern scholarship to have the same author as the gospel of John.
Tradition assigns 2 John and 3 John to the same John as above, whereas many modern scholars believe that the writer of these short works, who refers to himself as "the elder", is not the same person. No claims of identity are made in any of the three epistles by the author(s), and it should be noted that "John" was a common name at the time.
Lastly the author of the apocalyptic Revelation identifies himself as "John". There has been very little consensus, even in the early church, over whether this "John of Patmos" is the same as these other Johns.
Hope this helps,
