John Dyson (born 11 June 1954, Kogarah, New South Wales) is a former international cricketer (batsman) who is now a cricket coach, currently in charge of the West Indies.

He played 30 Test matches and 29 ODIs for Australia from 1977 to 1984. He did not enjoy as much success at the international level as he did at the first class level. In first-class matches, he scored nearly 10,000 runs at an average of 40.

He is probably best remembered for his "catch of the century" at the SCG, [http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1980S/1981-82/WI_IN_AUS/WI_AUS_T2_02-06JAN1982.html West Indies v Australia, January 5, 1982] when he caught Sylvester Clarke in the outfield, over his head, at a 45 degree angle to the ground, running backwards.

Dyson participated in two "rebel tours" of South Africa in 1985-86 and 1986-87, scoring over 1,000 runs.

He played soccer as a goalkeeper in the Sutherland Shire (Cronulla RSL) and was a member of the side that won the Dallimore Competition and runners-up in the NSW Amateur Cup final.

On 21 October 2007 he was named as coach of the West Indies having previously coached Sri Lanka from 2003 to 2005 [ [http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/westindies/content/current/story/316338.html John Dyson named West Indies coach] , Cricinfo, Retrieved on 21 October 2007] .
