John Lawson Goodwin (3 June 1887 – 3 November 1954) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside forward. He was a Scottish Football League champion in each of his first three seasons with Rangers between 1910–11 and 1912–13, also winning the Charity Cup in May 1911 and the Glasgow Cup five months later. He was not a first choice in his position but served as a capable stand-in when either Alec Bennett or Jimmy Bowie was unavailable. Goodwin's younger brother also played for Ayr United, joining the club a few months after John moved to Rangers.
