John Wright (23 September 1861 - 23 December 1912) was an English first-class cricketer.
Wright was born at Nantwich.[1] Described as "A fast round-armed bowler, rather uncertain; a good bat, and fields well near the wicket",[1] Wright made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the North of England in the North v South match at Lord's in 1885,[2] played in benefit of the family of Fred Morley.[1] Batting twice during the match, Wright was dismissed for 3 runs by W. G. Grace, while in their second-innings he was dismissed without scoring by Arnold Fothergill.[3] He later played minor counties cricket for Cheshire in 1895, making one appearance against Worcestershire.[4]
He was employed in various jobs during his life at Manchester, Stockport, Weston-super-Mare, Nelson, and Sale.[1] He died at Willaston in December 1912.
