John Hatfield (2 March 1831 – 5 July 1889) was an English cricketer. Hatfield's batting style is unknown. He was born at Southwell, Nottinghamshire.
Hatfield made a single first-class appearance for Nottinghamshire against Surrey in 1854 at Broadwater Park, Godalming. Surrey won the toss and elected to bat first, making 113 all out in their first-innings. Nottinghamshire responded in their first-innings by making 100 all out, with Hatfield, who opened the batting, scoring 3 runs before he was dismissed by Heathfield Stephenson. Surrey then made 107 all out in their second-innings, leaving Nottinghamshire with a target of 121 for victory. However, Nottinghamshire could only manage to make just 55 all out in their second-innings, during which Hatfield, who had moved down the order to number seven, scored a single run before he was dismissed by Tom Shermam. This was his only major appearance for Nottinghamshire.
He died at Rugby, Warwickshire, on 5 July 1889.
