John Raymond Hubbell (June 1, 1879 – December 13, 1954) was an American writer, composer and lyricist.

He attended schools in Urbana and studied music in Chicago, where he formed a dance band.

Hubbell began composing music for the Ziegfeld Follies in 1911 and eventually scored seven editions.

Hubbell also wrote the score for "Good Times", which ran for 456 performances at the New York Hippodrome.
