John Thomas Kane (23 July 1908 – 27 October 1988) was an Australian politician.
Born in Burraga, New South Wales, he was educated at Catholic schools in Lithgow, after which he became a coalminer.
He was vice-president of the Transport Workers' Union 1952–1956 and Assistant General Secretary of the New South Wales Labor Party 1952–1955.
[2] Kane's election to the Senate resulted from a decision of the New South Wales Branch of the ALP to allocate preferences in favour of the DLP ticket rather than to the lead candidate of the Australia Party, television presenter Diana Ward.
[2] The Jack Kane memorial dinner was set up in 2011 by the NSW branch of the DLP.
