John Seymour Rutherford (27 February 1890 — 14 April 1943) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of the soldier J. A. Rutherford,[1] he was born in February 1892 at Highclere, Hampshire. He was educated at Repton School.[1] Rutherford played first-class cricket for Hampshire in the 1913 County Championship, making his debut against Derbyshire at Southampton. He made a further seven appearances that season,[2] scoring 128 runs at an average of 9.14, with a highest score of 33 not out.[3] With his right-arm medium pace bowling, he also took three wickets.[4] Rutherford served in the British Army during the First World War, being commissioned as a second lieutenant into the Hampshire Regiment in September 1914. He relinquished his commission on account of ill-health in September 1916 and was granted the honorary rank of lieutenant. Following the war, he gained employment as a solicitors clerk.[5] Rutherford died at Oxford in April 1943.[6] His brother, Arnold, was also a first-class cricketer.
