John Phillip Bengtson (July 17, 1913 – December 18, 1994) was an American football player and coach.
In 1934, he earned All-America honors with the Golden Gophers, working in tandem with a player who went to coaching immortality: quarterback Bud Wilkinson.
His work as defensive coordinator of the Packers established his coaching ability and put him in line to succeed Lombardi.
After a 6–8 record in 1970, he was relieved of his duties, replaced by Missouri head coach Dan Devine for the 1971 season.
Bengtson died at age 81 after a long illness at his home in San Diego on December 18, 1994.
