John Mullin (born August 11 1975 in Bury, Greater Manchester) is a footballer who plays as a midfielder for Accrington Stanley and is the brother of fellow Accrington player, Paul Mullin.

Mullin's career began at Burnley, and has taken in spells at Sunderland (where he had the distinction of scoring the winning goal in a Premier League game against Manchester United in 1997), a second spell at Burnley and Rotherham United. Mullin was released by Rotherham at the end of the 2005/06 season and joined the manager that brought him to the Millers, Ronnie Moore, at Tranmere Rovers on a two-year deal.

Whilst at Tranmere he had a reasonable season the first year but his second season on Merseyside brought injuries and subbed appearances. He was first choice centre-mid with Paul McLaren in his first year and netted 5 times. He scored a volley at home to Bristol City in the last minute in Tranmere's 1–0 win. He also scored against Yeovil Town, Northampton Town (twice) and Chesterfield.

After being released by Tranmere at the end of the 2007–08 season, Mullin was signed by Accrington Stanley on a one year contract.
