John Eyre (29 October 1859 — 24 November 1941) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of Richard Eyre, he was born at Shaw House in Berkshire in October 1859. He was educated at Winchester College,[1] before going up to Keble College, Oxford.[2] He later changed college, transferring to Christ Church.[1] Eyre later made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), captained by W. G. Grace, against Cambridge University at Lord's in 1887.[3] Batting once in the match, he was dismissed for 9 runs by Francis Ford in the MCC first innings, with the MCC winning the match by 10 wickets.[4] He married Lady Evelyn Alice Curzon in April 1896, the daughter of Richard Curzon-Howe, 3rd Earl Howe.[1] Eyre died at his Cleveland Square home in Bayswater in November 1941.[5]
