John Quarrell (22 January 1938 – 17 July 2000) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL). A left footer from Terang, he played his initial games at Footscray on match permits, as he had been refused a clearance. He played his football on the wing or as a half forward flanker, which was from where he kicked two goals in the 1961 VFL Grand Final loss to Hawthorn.
