John "Jean" McFarlane (24 November 1899 – 25 February 1956) was a Scottish footballer who played for Celtic, Middlesbrough and Dunfermline Athletic as a half back.

He made over 300 appearances for Celtic in a decade as a first team player at the club, winning several major honours.[1][2][3]

McFarlane was selected four times for the Scottish Football League XI[4] but never gained a full international cap for Scotland, one of few players to appear so often for the SFL team without playing at least once for the SFA.

His nephew Willie Fagan was also a footballer who played for Celtic and won the English Football League title with Liverpool.[2]
