John George Wylie (5 October 1854 – 30 July 1924) was an English amateur footballer who played as a forward.
Wanderers thus reached their third consecutive cup final, when on 23 March 1878 at the Kennington Oval, they defeated the Royal Engineers 3–1.
Three weeks before the Cup Final, Wylie (together with fellow Wanderers forwards Henry Wace and Hubert Heron) was again selected for the annual international fixture against Scotland.
He was described by C. W. Alcock in the 1879 Football Annual as "a good centre, with pace and strength (who) should play for his side more".
