John Sutton (born December 26, 1983 in Norwich, East Anglia) is an English footballer, currently playing for Wycombe Wanderers.

Sutton started his career as a trainee with Tottenham Hotspur in 2002 and had loan spells with Carlisle United and Swindon Town before moving to Scottish Football League club Raith Rovers in 2003. He made a quick impression at Raith, scoring 13 goals in 20 appearances for the Scottish 1st Division club, which alerted the attention of English Championship club Millwall who signed him for £60,000. He failed to make an impression at Millwall, playing just 4 league matches and he returned to Scotland on-loan with Dundee. Once again, he was impressive in Scotland scoring 8 goals in 20 appearances. After being released by Millwall in 2005 he joined Scottish First Division club St Mirren and helped them win promotion to the Scottish Premier League in his first season. He is the younger brother of former England international Chris Sutton and son of former Norwich, Chester and Carlisle player Mike Sutton.

On Thursday 14th June 2007 manager Gus MacPherson confirmed Sutton would be leaving St Mirren in the summer. He signed for Wycombe Wanderers on 28 June 2007.^[1]
