John Simon Bintcliffe (born 7 February 1966 in Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire, England) is a British racing driver.

Bintcliffe won the Renault Clio Cup in 1994, and the Ford Credit Fiesta series a year later.

Bintcliffe competed in the British Touring Car Championship for Audi from 1996 to 1998, teamed with series champions Frank Biela and Yvan Muller.

Due to its Quattro 4-wheel drive system, Audi initially had the best car, and despite his lack of experience John was able to twice finish 7th in the championship, taking 2 race wins against many higher profile drivers.

This may be an unfair reflection on John, given teammate Muller's success; in the same year Frank Biela only mustered 14th place in the German equivalent series, using the same 2-wheel drive Audi.
