John "Jack" Anthony (born 19 January 1988) is a Collingwood Magpies footballer in the Australian Football League.

John is a 'tough as nails' defender from Diamond Creek in northern Melbourne. He was recruited from the Northern Knights U18 club, and has been earmarked by the club to hold down the fullback position in the years to come, set to replace Shane Wakelin and Simon Prestigiacomo when the pair depart the league scene.

John suffered a serious neck injury in the 2007 pre-season, sidelining him for the season. He recovered to make his debut in Round 3, 2008 against Richmond, and kicked two goals.
