John Edward Loyd (May 5, 1875 – March 4, 1943) was a college football player and physician.
Loyd played for Richmond College from 1892 to 1895 and for the Virginia Cavaliers from 1898 to 1900. He was captain of the team in 1900, a year in which Virginia had a claim to a Southern championship and defeated Sewanee to give the school its first loss since 1897. Loyd was thrice selected to the All-Southern team as a tackle.
He was once resident physician at the Chesapeake and Ohio Hospital at Clifton Forge.
