John Browning (27 January 1915 – 14 August 1971) was a Scottish footballer who played as a wing half for Liverpool and Cowdenbeath. In his spell at Anfield he was unable to displace the long-serving Jimmy McDougall from his preferred position, making only 19 appearances across five seasons. His career was then interrupted by the onset of World War II.

His father of the same name was also a footballer, winning Scottish league titles with Celtic and also appearing for Dumbarton.
