John McEwan (16 September 1903 – 10 October 1957) was a Scottish footballer who played as a left half. His only club at the professional level was Kilmarnock, where he spent twelve seasons.[1][2]

He began his career with local junior teams Darvel and Irvine Meadow before joining Kilmarnock in 1923. He quickly became a regular in the side, and was on the field when Killie won the Scottish Cup in 1929[3][4][5] and finished runners-up after a replay in 1932.[6][7] He made 395 appearances in the cup and Scottish Football League Division One, and visited North America (the club's first tour overseas) in the summer of 1930.[8]
