John Wells (5 January 1760, in Wrecclesham, Surrey – 15 February 1835, in Wrecclesham) was a famous English cricketer who played for Surrey.
Wells was a top-class all-rounder who batted right-handed.
He was a fine fielder who was good enough to keep wicket on occasion.
Wells made his first-class debut in the 1787 English cricket season when he played for All-England versus White Conduit Club in one of the earliest matches at the new Lord's Cricket Ground, which had just opened that season.
[1] His brother James Wells, an occasional player, also represented Surrey.
