John Selby (born 1 July 1849 in Nottingham; died 11 March 1894 in Nottingham) played cricket professionally for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club between 1870 and 1887. He toured Australia in 1876/7 and 1881/2, playing a total of six Test matches on those tours, and he toured North America in 1879.

Selby went on to become a pub landlord, but his financial dealings were unsuccessful and led to a run-in with the law. He died after suffering a paralytic stroke in Nottingham General Hospital in 1894. He had a wife, Annie.

His name was registered at birth as John Burrows.
