John W. "Bake" Baker (August 14, 1907 – February 6, 1979) was an American football player and coach.

He played college football at the University of Southern California, where he was a two-time All-American at guard.

He kicked the winning 33-yard field goal with one minute to go in USC's game against the Notre Dame in 1931.

Baker was an all-conference first-teamer in 1930 and 1931 and was invited to participate in a demonstration game of American football at the 1932 Summer Olympics, but he declined.

Baker was the head football coach at Grant Union High School in Sacramento, California from 1938 to 1941.
