Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English John Hammond (15 January 1769 – 15 October 1844) was an English cricketer of the late 18th and early 19th century.

Hammond made his known debut in the 1790 season and played in 123 first-class cricket matches to the 1816 season.[1] A genuine all-rounder, he was a left-handed batsman but he bowled right-arm slow underarm. He was a good fielder and an occasional wicket-keeper.[2]

Hammond played for the Players in the first two Gentlemen v Players matches in 1806.[3][4] His son, Charles, played first-class cricket, as did his grandson Ernest Hammond.
