John Cameron was a Scottish international footballer and football manager. He won two caps for Scotland in 1903 and 1904, and also represented a Scottish League XI three times.
He played for St Mirren before joining Blackburn Rovers in 1904. He spent three years at the club before signing for First Division rivals Chelsea. After they were relegated, he helped Chelsea to win promotion out of the Second Division in 1911–12. He signed with non-league Port Vale in 1913, departing the following year, only to return in 1916. He briefly served as the club's manager from August 1918 until his departure in January 1919.
Cameron played for Kirkwood Thistle and St Mirren, before moving south to join English First Division club Blackburn Rovers in 1904. He replaced Jack Eastham as the club's regular left-back, and played 64 league games for the club from 1904 to 1907, before signing with Chelsea, who had won promotion out of the Second Division in 1907. After maintaining their top-flight status in 1907–08 and 1908–09, the "Pensioners" were relegated in 1909–10. Cameron stayed at the club as they missed out on promotion by one place and two points in 1910–11, before he helped Chelsea to promotion as Second Division runners-up in 1911–12; they finished level on points with champions Derby County, who had a superior goal average. He then helped the club to finish one place above the relegation zone in 1912–13. He played a total of 179 league and 15 cup appearances for Chelsea.
