John Francis Maclean Morrison (born 27 August 1947 in Wellington) played 17 Tests and 18 One Day Internationals for New Zealand. Since retiring from playing he has worked as a commentator and in local body politics, including serving on the Wellington City Council.

He was greatly known for his dribbly spin bowling, including his 'mystery' delivery.
