John Foy (born 1958) is an Australian visual artist.

Career John Foy worked at Phantom Records, a record store in Sydney, in the late 1970s. He designed their advertisement and helped with screen printing for their Phantom T-shirts business.

After teaching himself how to screen print, Foy began designing posters for local bands such as the Visitors and Lipstick Killers. He designed posters for international artists such as Debbie Harry and Lou Reed during their Australian tours, and his work stood out at the time for featuring artwork when most posters didn't.
