John Denys Parkin Tanner (2 July 1921 – 25 October 1987) was a professional footballer, who played for Huddersfield Town. He signed for the club in April 1946 from Yorkshire Amateur, turning professional in 1948. He played just one game - and scoring one goal - for the club at the start of the 1948-49 season before returning to Yorkshire Amateur in September 1948.
He was born in Harrogate and died at Ben Rhydding.
Tanner was also a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Oxford University from 1947 to 1949 in a few matches each season as a lower-order right-handed batsman and wicketkeeper, as well as for the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1955. He also played Minor Counties Championship cricket for Oxfordshire in 1951.
