John Allen Hussey (17 April 1897 – 18 August 1969) was an English first-class cricketer and Royal Navy officer.

Hussey served in the First World War with the Royal Navy as an acting paymaster sub-lieutenant, for which he was commended in the London Gazette. He was confirmed in the rank of paymaster sub-lieutenant in January 1919, with promotion to the rank of paymaster lieutenant following in July 1919. He was promoted to paymaster lieutenant commander in July 1927. Hussey made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Royal Navy against the Royal Air Force at Chatham in 1929. Batting once in the match, Hussey top scored in the Royal Navy first-innings with 54, before being dismissed by Reginald Fulljames. He was promoted to paymaster commander in June 1935.
