John 'Jack' Incoll (born 14 February 1879) was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Melbourne and Collingwood in the VFL.
Incoll started his career at South Melbourne but it wasn't until he went to Collingwood in 1902 that he established himself as a VFL footballer. He played in Collingwood's 1902 and 1903 premiership sides and at one stage the club put together 16 consecutive wins with him in the team. He was also a member of the side which lost the 1905 Grand Final.
Used in a variety of positions, he spent a lot of his time in the forward line and was also pushed back in defence on occasions. He was a fill in ruckman when Collingwood won the 1903 premiership. In a game against St Kilda in the 1905 season he kicked a career best six goals, his next best from his 72 games was two goals which he achieved numerous times. He finished his career in New South Wales and represented the state at the 1911 Adelaide Carnival.
