John Blain (born January 4, 1979 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.
Attaining his first cap in 1996, Blain became Scotland's youngest-capped cricketer since 1890. He played during the 1996 European Championship until injury stopped him from playing in the tournament's final game. Blain was initially signed as a footballer to Falkirk but decided to switch to cricket, signing for Northamptonshire, having not made an impact as a footballer.
Blain left Northamptonshire at the end of the 2003 season to join Yorkshire, where he has made sporadic appearances for the first team.
He has played eleven ODIs as of 19 January 2007.
