John Alexander "Jack" Wood (2 January 1889 – 20 October 1914) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
He came from Preston to play two senior games for Essendon in the 1910 VFL season. Both appearances were in winning teams: a win against Richmond in round nine, and a win against Fitzroy in round 10.
Wood, a Private with the 6th Infantry Battalion, died on 20 October 1914, two days after he was badly injured in a motor bus accident. He was a passenger on the bus which was returning to Broadmeadows camp and had fallen out of the vehicle, which ran over him.
