John Bentley (born 16 April 1951) is an English bass guitarist.

He played bass for the band Squeeze from 1980 to 1982,[2] appearing on the albums Argybargy and East Side Story, as well as Sweets from a Stranger.

Squeeze initially split up in 1982, and upon reforming in 1985, band leaders Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook replaced Bentley with Keith Wilkinson.

The Squeeze sound did change when we had Keith Wilkinson, and looking back now, not necessarily for the better.

In 2018, Bentley's band The Buzniks released their self-titled first album through 3Ms music.
