John Alexander "Jack" Fincher (27 November 1904 — 4 October 1970) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Richmond and Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Fincher was unlucky not to play in a premiership side while at Richmond, appearing in three successive losing Grand Finals from 1927, his debut season. A rover, he kicked 23 goals in 1928. He crossed to Footscray in 1931, a year before Richmond broke through for their premiership.
His elder brother Charlie played at South Melbourne and was killed in the very first landings at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915.
