John Bailey was an Australian rugby league player of the 1970s.

John Bailey came to St George Dragons from Inverell, New South Wales, in 1973 and made first grade in 1975. He was a member of the St. George team that won the Under 23s grand final in 1974 and made it into first grade the following year. He played in the devastating 1975 Grand Final loss to Eastern Suburbs but returned in 1977 to play in the 1977 Grand Final victory over Parramatta Eels, scoring a penalty try in the last minutes of the match.

He retired after the grand final and went on to coach Western Suburbs Magpies between 1988-1990 after having coached the lower grades at the St. George Dragons. [1]
