John "Jack" Hogg (27 May 1881 – 2 August 1944) was an English footballer who played as a half-back for various clubs in the 1900s.
Hogg was born in Sunderland and joined his elder brother Billy as a trainee at Sunderland in 1900. Hogg failed to make the grade at Roker Park and moved to Morpeth Harriers of the Northern Alliance for two seasons.
In May 1903, Hogg joined Sheffield United in the Football League First Division, where he made three appearances at right-half in the 1903–04 season. He then moved to the south coast to join Southern League Southampton in the summer of 1905.
He made his debut for the "Saints" on 7 October 1905, in a 2–1 victory at home to Watford. Although he was often played at centre-half, he was more at home at right-half; he was primarily a "destructive" rather than "constructive" player who "appeared to be rather slow (although) he had an easy stride" and was "reliable and a great trier" but "tended to be over-awed in important matches". For the 1905–06 season, he became a regular in defence alongside England internationals Bert Lee and Kelly Houlker. In his first season at The Dell, Hogg made 24 league and 5 FA Cup appearances, scoring once, as Southampton finished as runners-up in the League.
