John William Frederick Arthur Crawfurd (15 November 1878 – 22 June 1939) was an Irish cricketer. He was a left-handed batsman and a left-arm fast-medium bowler.

Crawfurd attended Merchant Taylors' School, Northwood, before going up to St John's College, Oxford. He started his first-class cricket career with Oxford University, for whom he played 14 first-class matches in 1900 and 1901. He later played two first-class matches against the university, one for Harlequins and another for an "L Robinson's XI" that featured his fellow Irish international Tim O'Brien. He also represented the university at Rugby Union.
