John "Jack" Owen (1866 – unknown) was a Welsh footballer who played as a left half for Newton Heath from 1887 to 1893.[1] He also won one cap for Wales while with Newton Heath.[2]

Born in Chirk, Denbighshire, Owen began his football career with Chirk before signing for Newton Heath in October 1887.[3] His elder brother, William, also signed from Chirk at the same time. Owen scored six goals in 90 appearances over the span of a six-year career with the Heathens, before losing his place to new signing Fred Erentz, who would go on to serve the club for almost 10 years.
