John Henry Austin Wallace (born 30 March 1924 in Kentani, Cape Province, Union of South Africa) was a first-class cricketer who played for Rhodesia in the Currie Cup.

Wallace, a right-handed batsman, was the only Rhodesian to pass 500 runs in the 1951/52 Currie Cup season. He had particular success against North Eastern Transvaal during his career, making 424 runs at 60.57 against them in four first-class matches and scored two centuries. The other two centuries he made for Rhodesia came against Orange Free State and Border. He was also dismissed in the 90s on three occasions.

He had a son Peter who played four first-class matches.
