John Douglas Jeremy Bluett (29 May 1930 – 23 August 2019) was an English amateur cricketer who played two first-class cricket matches for Kent County Cricket Club in 1950.
Bluett was born at Kensington in London, and was educated at Cranbrook School, Kent, captaining the side in his final year when he averaged almost 60 runs per innings. Wisden described his batting during 1948 as "splendid" and "consistent"
Good batting performances featuring centuries against Sussex Second XI and Devon in 1950 saw him called into the First XI and he made his senior debut against Worcestershire in the 1950 County Championship at Tunbridge Wells. He played again in Kent's following match against Leicestershire at Loughborough, but scored only ten runs in the two innings in which he batted and played no more first-class cricket. He made five more Second XI appearances for Kent, the last in 1958, and played for a variety of amateur sides, including the Forty Club, Yellowhammers, Incogniti and Band of Brothers.
