John "Jack" Hammond (30 September 1884 – 5 June 1971) was a former Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton and Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
The son of Thomas Hammond, and Ann Hammond, née Williams, John Hammond was born on 30 September 1884. Two of his brothers, Charlie Hammond (1886-1936), and Billy Hammond (1887-1919) also played VFL football.
He married Millicent Evelyn Iverson (1897-1960) in 1921.
