John James McKone (3 October 1835 – 7 August 1882) was an Australian cricketer.[1] He played three first-class matches for New South Wales between 1855/56 and 1857/58.[2]

McKone played in New South Wales' first three first-class matches. In the first, in Melbourne in March 1856, he took 5 for 25 and 5 for 11 and scored 18 not out in the first innings. New South Wales won narrowly, and he was the equal top wicket-taker and equal highest run-scorer on either side.[3]

McKone married Esther Holder in Sydney in December 1858.[4] He was the publican of the Curriers' Arms Hotel in central Sydney, where he also lived.[5] Esther died there in May 1880 after bearing a stillborn son a few days earlier.[6] He died there aged 46 in August 1882.[7]
