John Harbin is an Australian sports coach. He first worked in rugby league before beginning a coaching career in association football.

Born in the English county of Yorkshire, Harbin spent most of his life in Queensland, Australia before returning to England to coach in rugby league. He was the coach of Wakefield Trinity Wildcats between October 2000 and November 2001, and regarded by some fans as a good coach even after a 12 game losing streak. Wakefield's final game of the 2001 season was a relegation battle with Salford City Reds and Wakefield won condeming Huddersfield Giants to the drop. However he left the club at the end of 2001.

Harbin joined Oldham Athletic Association Football Club as a fitness coach and worked with then-assistant manager Iain Dowie. Dowie was later promoted to manager and moved to fc|Crystal Palace with Harbin following. The pair, along with Dowie's brother Bob, guided Crystal Palace to a surprise promotion to the Premier League having been near the relegation zone when appointed. Success was short lived, however, as Crystal Palace were relegated the following season and then failed to gain another promotion.

Dowie moved to fc|Charlton Athletic in 2006, and again linked up with Harbin after Crystal Palace replaced Harbin with England U-21's fitness coach, Mark Hulse. After Dowie's sacking in November 2006, Harbin stayed briefly under new manager Les Reed but departed by the end of 2006. In February 2007 he linked up with Dowie for the fourth time, at fc|Coventry City. A year later he was placed in a joint caretaker's role alongside first-team coach Frankie Bunn after the sacking of Dowie. Harbin is now working yet again with Dowie at Queens Park Rangers.
