John 'Jack' Shorten (born 30 November 1887) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Shorten was the centre half back in Collingwood's 1910 premiership team. His involvement in a second half melee kept him out of action for the entire 1911 season as he received a 28 games suspension for striking, exactly the same punishment handed out to Carlton's Percy Sheehan. It remains the longest suspension ever for a Collingwood player.
