John Tye (10 July 1848 – 19 November 1905) was an English cricketer who played for Derbyshire in 1874 and 1875 and for Nottinghamshire from 1876 to 1881.
He made his first-class debut in June when he took a wicket in his first match, a win against Lancashire.
Although his wicket cost of only four runs, Tye had little further bowling opportunity in the Derbyshire side where there was a wealth of bowlers.
He achieved his best score of 48 against Gloucestershire in 1876 where Nottinghamshire suffered the combined onslaught of the three Grace brothers.
Tye was a right-arm roundarm fast bowler and took 45 first-class wickets at an average of 24.49 and a best performance of 5 for 41.
