John Leonard Price (1877 – after 1908) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Small Heath, Doncaster Rovers and Stockport County.[1]

Price was born in Birmingham.[1] He began his football career with Shenstone BC before joining Small Heath in August 1897. He was a regular in the reserve team in the Birmingham & District League, but only appeared once for the first team,[2] playing at inside right in the last game of the 1898–99 season, a goalless draw away against Leicester Fosse in the Second Division.[3] Price left the club after being charged with assaulting a railway station ticket collector.[2] He went on to play for Watford in the Southern League[4] before returning to the Football League with Doncaster Rovers and Stockport County.[1] By 1909, he was reserve-team trainer at Fulham.[4]
