John Britton (April 21, 1919 – December 2, 1990) was an American baseball third baseman in the Negro leagues and in the Japanese Pacific League. He played professionally from 1940 to 1953, playing with the St. Louis–New Orleans Stars, Chicago American Giants, Cincinnati/Indianapolis Clowns, Birmingham Black Barons, and Hankyu Braves. During the 1944 Negro World Series, Britton was injured in a car accident, along with Tommy Sampson, Pepper Bassett, and Leandy Young. Britton suffered a dislocated left hand. Britton and Jimmy Newberry were the first African-Americans to play on a Japanese baseball team.
