John Wright (11 August 1926 – 22 June 2005) was an English professional footballer who played as a defender – specifically, a full back.
He made his debut for Blackpool, who were then managed by Joe Smith, on 6 September 1948, in a 1–1 draw with Derby County at Bloomfield Road.
In 1950–51, Wright made twelve league appearances, but sat out Blackpool's entire run to their second FA Cup Final.
In 1953–54, Wright returned to the line-up; however, he was still unable to nudge out Tommy Garrett from the left-back berth, and therefore made only eight league appearances.
Suart gave seventeen starts to Wright, the final one occurring on 3 January in a 3–1 defeat at Manchester United at Old Trafford.
