John George Rankin (14 February 1914 – 8 December 1989) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A flanker, Rankin represented Canterbury and, briefly, Wellington at a provincial level. He was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, in 1936 and 1937. He played four matches for the All Blacks including three internationals.[1]

During World War II, Rankin served as an officer with the New Zealand forces, being commissioned as a second lieutenant in September 1941.[2] He was a Canterbury selector–coach from 1948 to 1954, and a South Island selector between 1955 and 1957.[1]
