John Mushet (10 October 1875 — 10 March 1965) was a Scottish first-class cricketer and real estate auctioneer.

The son of Robert Cathcart Mushet, he was born at Edinburgh in October 1875,[1] where he was educated at George Heriot's School. A club cricketer for Heriot's Cricket Club, Mushet was the club's first player to be capped for Scotland when he made a single first-class appearance against the touring Australians at Edinburgh in 1912.[2][3] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 2 runs in the Scotland first innings by Roy Minnett, while in their second innings he was dismissed for a single run by Gerry Hazlitt.[4] Outside of cricket, Mushet worked for the family firm property auctioneers and estate agents John Mushet & Son. He died at Edinburgh in March 1965. His son, Robert, was also a first-class cricketer.[1]
