John Hynes (born 23 February 1979) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Australian Football League. Drafted in 1997, Hynes debuted the following year. Playing as a key position player at 184 cm, Hynes often had to play on much larger opponents. As a result, Hynes only managed four senior games in 1998, although he did win the reserves best and fairest award. After failing to play a senior match in 1999, Hynes was delisted by Carlton. He went on to play for Frankston in the Victorian Football League.
