John Ouwerx (8 March 1903 – 13 January 1983) was a Belgian jazz pianist and composer who in 1927 played the first European performance of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.[1]

Classically trained at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent, he travelled to New York in 1923, establishing himself as a jazz musician on his return.[2]
