John Hunter Prentice (19 October 1898 – 28 June 1966) was a Scottish footballer who played as a forward. Born in Glasgow, he lived in Manchester from an early age and played football in the Manchester amateur leagues before being signed by Manchester United, initially as an amateur. He turned professional in November 1919, although it was not until 2 April 1920 that he made his debut, starting at outside left in a 1–0 home defeat to Bradford Park Avenue. There, he made 23 appearances and scored three goals in the Third Division, adding a further two goals in the FA Cup. He was released at the end of the season and replaced by another former Manchester United outside left, James Robinson.
