John Herbert ("Jack") Crawford (22 March 1908 - 10 September 1991) was an Australian tennis player of the 1930s. He was the World No. 1 player for 1933.
In 1933 Crawford won the Australian, French, and British championships, needing to win the American championship to complete the slam. An asthmatic who suffered in the muggy summer heat of Long Island, he was leading the Englishman Fred Perry in the finals of the championship by two sets to one when his strength began to fade. He ended up losing the match, and tennis immortality, by the final score of 3–6, 13-11, 6–4, 0–6, 1–6.
