John Morton Parker (born 21 February 1951, Dannevirke) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played 36 Test matches and 24 ODIs for New Zealand, also serving as interim captain in the third Test against Pakistan in 1976/77. However, his career was largely unsuccessful, and a string of poor scores in the late 1970s saw him dropped from the team. He was the youngest of three brothers to play first-class cricket, the other two being Kenneth and Murray Parker.
