John Francis Sartorius Winnington DSO (17 September 1876 - 22 September 1918) was an English cricketer who played a single first-class game, for Worcestershire against Oxford University at The University Parks in 1908. He scored 0 and 20 in Worcestershire's crushing 332-run victory. He was born in Charlton Kings, Gloucestershire.

Winnington was commissioned into a Militia battalion of the Worcestershire Regiment in 1895. He later transferred to the Regular Army and was promoted Captain in 1901. In the First World War, Winnington was promoted Lieutenant-Colonel in 1915. As well as being awarded the DSO, he was mentioned in despatches four times.
