John Schultz (born September 28, 1938) is a former Australian rules football player, who played for the Footscray Football Club and is one of the club's greatest players.

Schultz was recruited by Footscray from Caulfield Grammar School in 1954, and began a career spanning 10 years and 188 games (kicking 39 goals). Schultz won the Brownlow Medal in 1960 by one vote, and was Footscray's Best and Fairest Player five times (1960, 1962, 1964-66). Schultz played for Victoria 21 times, and was an All-Australian in 1961.

Schultz played as an amateur (i.e., he received no payment). He played his entire VFL with the great Ted Whitten as his captain, and retired at age 29. In 2002, he was named to a back pocket of the Footscray/Western Bulldogs Team of the Century. Schultz is also an inductee into the VFL/AFL Hall of Fame.
