John William Frederick Arthur Crawfurd (15 November 1878 – 22 June 1939[1]) was an Irish cricketer. He was a left-handed batsman and a left-arm fast-medium bowler.[1]

Crawfurd attended Merchant Taylors' School, Northwood, before going up to St John's College, Oxford.[2] He started his first-class cricket career with Oxford University, for whom he played 14 first-class matches in 1900 and 1901.[3] He later played two first-class matches against the university, one for Harlequins and another for an "L Robinson's XI"[3] that featured his fellow Irish international Tim O'Brien.[4] He also represented the university at Rugby Union.[5][2]

He played four times for Ireland between 1907 and 1923, making his debut against Yorkshire.[6] Three of his matches for Ireland had first-class status.[3]

At his death in 1939, the notice in The Times cites him as being "of Guinness's Brewery, Dublin".[7]
