John Patrick Stephenson (born 14 March 1965) is an English cricketer, who is currently Head of Cricket at the MCC.

He was born in Stebbing, Essex and educated at Felsted School. He had a long county cricket career as a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium bowler for Essex (1985-1994 and 2002-2004) and Hampshire (1995-2001). He captained Hampshire between 1996 and 1997.

Stephenson was a One-Test wonder, playing only one Test match against Australia at The Oval in 1989, though later in his career he was twice picked to tour with the England A team.

He was appointed Head of Cricket at the MCC in mid-2004, and thereafter has appeared only in MCC matches. He is responsible for MCC's playing and touring programmes, the strategic management of the playing and practice areas at Lord's, and supervision of the MCC Young Cricketers programme.
