John Noel (28 March 1856 – 9 January 1938) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for South Australia from 1880 to 1895.

Jack Noel was principally a batsman, but he was also a useful bowler and wicket-keeper and excellent fieldsman, who early in his career came close to selection for the national team.[1][2] Opening the batting in his second first-class match he made South Australia's top score of 52 in a loss to Victoria in 1880–81.[3] He made the highest score on either side in the corresponding match the next season when he scored 61 and South Australia won.[4] In 1882–83, when South Australia were dismissed for 23 by Victoria, he opened once again and made 18.[5] Thereafter he was less successful, and batted down the order.

Noel played cricket for Port Adelaide until he was 60, and also played Australian rules football for Port Adelaide.[6][7] He lived all his life in Port Adelaide.[7]

Noel worked from 1880 to 1937 as a customs and shipping representative for G. Wood, Son and Co. in Port Adelaide. He died in 1938 at the age of 81, leaving a widow and a daughter.[6]
