John "Jackie" Mordue (13 December 1886 – 14 December 1957) was an English footballer who played at outside right, and won the Football League championship with Sunderland in 1912–13 and made two appearances for England.
Mordue was born in Edmondsley, County Durham, the fifth son of Thomas Mordue, . As a youth he played for various local village teams and was spotted by Barnsley whilst playing for Spennymoor United. He joined the Oakwell club in October 1906, and played 25 Second Division games with 12 goals. In April the following year he moved to London when he was sold to Woolwich Arsenal for £450, where he linked up with his brother-in-law, goalkeeper Jimmy Ashcroft.
Mordue made his debut for Arsenal on 13 April 1907 and went on to play 28 games for Arsenal (26 in the First Division, two in the FA Cup) in thirteen months, scoring one goal. Arsenal finished 7th and 14th in the league in the 1906–07 and 1907–08 seasons, and Mordue was considered one of the team's best assets. With Woolwich Arsenal in financial trouble, he was sold for £750 to Sunderland, returning to his native north-east in May 1908.
