John Fallon (born 16th August 1940 in Blantyre, Scotland) was a Scottish professional footballer and member of the Celtic F.C. squad that won the European Cup in 1967, which came to be known as the Lisbon Lions.

He replaced Haffey as first choice goalkeeper in 1963 and played his part in the European Cup run of 1964, where they lost out to the Hungarian team MTK Budapest 4–3 in the semi-finals, after holding a 3–0 lead from the first leg at Celtic Park. He remained first choice goalkeeper until the signing of veteran keeper Ronnie Simpson from Hibernian in 1965.
