John Timothy Kelly Stearne (July 2, 1958 – May 9, 2016) was a Canadian curler from Calgary.

He played lead for the infamous Paul Gowsell rink which won two World Junior Curling Championships.

As a member of the Gowsell rink, Stearne won Canadian Junior Curling Championships for Alberta in 1976 and 1978.

This qualified the team to represent Canada at the 1976 and 1978 World Junior Championships, respectively.

He reunited with the rest of the Gowsell rink for one last bonspiel in November 2015.
