John Bollard (1839 or 1840 – 23 March 1915) was an independent conservative, then Reform Party (1908), Member of Parliament in New Zealand.
He then went from Sydney to Auckland, New Zealand, taking 200 horses on behalf of the military authorities, for the use of militia, war having broken out between Māori and the government a short time before.
He was one of the founders and original trustees of St Jude's Church in Avondale, and a churchwarden for many years.
[4] In 1911 he was part of a group of people who formed the Eden Ramblers rugby league football club at a meeting in Avondale.
The club, which was largely based in the Avondale and Point Chevalier areas, only lasted until midway through the 1913 season.
