John Henry Addenbrooke (born in Wolverhampton, died September 7, 1922) was an English footballer and football manager.

Jack Addenbrooke was one of the founding members of Wolverhampton Wanderers (as St. Lukes F.C.) in 1877 while working as a teacher at St. Luke's School in Blakenhall. He moved to Saltley College in Birmingham, but in 1883 joined Wolves as a player, playing in their reserve side.

In August 1885 he was appointed as Wolves' secretary-manager, guiding the side to FA Cup wins in 1893 and 1908 and runners-up in 1889, 1896 and 1921. He was awarded a Football League long-service medal in 1908.

He left Wolves in June 1922 and died soon after.
