John Rawlins (born 7 June 1957 in Caerphilly) is a former Welsh rugby union player who played as a prop. He played 16 games for Cardiff in the season 1981/82 before leaving to join Newport where he played 188 games. One of which was a Cup game against Cardiff.

Rawlins was a member of Cardiff Youth and then played a couple of games for Cardiff and also went on the tour to South Africa in the summer of 1982. John just missed out on a first XV cap. In 1982, Rawlins moved to Newport,[1] forming a formidable front row with Rhys Morgan and Mike Watkins. He also was in the 1987 Rugby World Cup squad and named in the squad for a Test with Japan but never saw action, as he was replaced by Jeff Whitefoot.[2] In 1987, Rawlins moved to Swansea, where he had 2 caps and ended his career.
