John Edward Dickinson (20 May 1914 – 24 March 2003) was an English cricketer. Dickinson was a left-handed batsman who bowled slow left-arm orthodox. He was born in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire.

Dickinson made his first-class debut for Leicestershire against Lancashire in the 1933 County Championship. He played a further first-class match for Leicestershire against Warwickshire in the 1935 County Championship.[1] In his two first-class matches, he scored 27 runs at a batting average of 6.75, with a high score of 16.[2] With the ball he bowled 17 wicket-less overs.[3] Following the war he joined Devon where he represented the county infrequently in the Minor Counties Championship from 1947 to 1953.[4]

Dickinson had played football, but his career in this sport was ended by a broken leg. Following his move to Devon, he became a driving force behind the Torquay Festival, which had in the 1950s rivalled the Scarborough Festival and the Hastings Festival.[5] He died in Torquay, Devon on 24 March 2003.
