John Malcolm Lister (born 9 March 1947) is a professional golfer from New Zealand.

Between 1972 and 1977, he was the leading player on the New Zealand golf circuit winning ten of twenty-five events.

His four consecutive wins in a professional tour event is a record that he shares with Tiger Woods, who won the Bay Hill Invitational from 2000 to 2003.

In 1970, he won twice on the British PGA circuit and finished the season in fourth place on the Order of Merit.

[5] Lister's older brother, Tom, was a former rugby union player who represented New Zealand.
