John Wight (born 11 December 1973) is a Scottish former footballer. He played as a goalkeeper for Stranraer and Dumbarton.

Career Wight joined Dumbarton F.C. from Beith Juniors F.C. as the third goalkeeper. He soon became No. 2 to John Hillcoat, and became the starting goalkeeper after Hillcoat left the club. He went on to make 43 appearances for the Sons, most notably saving the injury time penalty which assured Sons of promotion at the end of the 2001–2002 season. Wight missed most of the 2003–2004 season due to a cruciate ligament injury.

After leaving Dumbarton, Wight had a trial with Stranraer in the summer of 2006, but went back to Beith Juniors after the two sides were unable to agree a contract. Following a spell at Livingston, he eventually went on to sign for Stranraer but was used mostly as a substitute.
