John Heynes Ferrandi (3 April 1930 – 16 September 2019)[1] was a South African cricketer who played first-class cricket for Western Province from 1949 to 1964.

Principally a wicket-keeper, Ferrandi was also a useful batsman. Selected to play for a South African XI against the Australians in 1957-58, he scored 62 and 30 (the top score of the innings).[2] His highest first-class score was 89, which was also Western Province's highest score in the match against Natal in 1955-56.[3] Against the New Zealanders in 1961-62 he made 81 not out (Western Province's highest score in the match) and 25 not out, hitting hard and excelling in his footwork, his strokes through mid-wicket and his late cutting.[4][5] In 1960-61 he was the leading stumper in South Africa, executing seven stumpings, most of them off the leg-spin bowling of John Commins.[6]
