John "Jack" Dearden, also known as John Deardon[1] (born 26 December 1891 in St Helens, Lancashire, England; died 4 May 1972 in Belfast, Northern Ireland[2]) was an Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper[2], he made his debut for the Ireland cricket team against Scotland in July 1922 and went on to play for Ireland on four occasions, his last match coming against Wales in June 1926.[1]
Of his matches for Ireland, two had first-class status.[3] In all matches for Ireland, he scored in only one match, an innings of 84 against Wales in his final game.[1]
He also played in a Minor Counties Championship match for the Lancashire Second XI against the Yorkshire Second XI.[4]
