John Evans Montague (born September 12, 1947), is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Montreal Expos, Philadelphia Phillies, Seattle Mariners and California Angels in parts of seven seasons spanning 1973–1980. He was born in Newport News, Virginia.
Montague, who played college baseball at Old Dominion University, was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 15th round of the 1965 Major League Baseball Draft, but decided not to sign with the team. He was then selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the 3rd round of the 1967 amateur draft. On April 13, 1973, the Orioles sent him to the Montreal Expos in exchange for Mickey Scott.
He made his major league debut for the Expos on September 9, 1973 against the New York Mets, pitching the eighth inning of a game the Expos lost by a score of 3-0, and retiring all three batters he faced. He was with the Expos for two full seasons, with no decisions in the 1973 season in four relief appearances, and ending the 1974 with a 3-4 record and 3 saves in 46 appearances, including one start. He pitched in 12 games for the Expos in 1975, finishing with an 0-1 record and two saves in 12 appearances, before he was picked off waivers by the Philadelphia Phillies on September 2, 1975. He appeared in three games in relief in 1975 in his brief stint with the Phillies.
