John O'Kane (born 15 November 1974 in Nottingham) is an English former professional footballer who last played for Hyde United.
He began his professional career at Manchester United in 1993 as an 18-year-old, but played just two competitive games for the club before signing for Everton in January 1998. His most recent appearance for United was more than two years earlier on 19 August 1995, when he came on as a substitute against Aston Villa on the opening day of the 1995–96 Premier League season.
He had more first team chances at Everton, but still only managed 14 games in three years, during which time he was loaned out twice. He made his final senior appearance at the age of 28 for Blackpool in the 2002–03 Division Two campaign before signing for non-league Hyde United, where he remained until retiring completely in 2006.
