John Bartholomew Parker (born c. 1823 – 2 October 1892) was a Scottish first-class cricketer.
Educated at Harrow School,[1] he made his debut in first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of the North against the Gentlemen of the South at Lord's in 1852, with Parker making two further first-class appearances in 1852 for the Gentlemen of England against the Gentlemen of Kent at Lord's and Canterbury respectively. He played one first-class match in 1853 for the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club against the Gentlemen of England, before making his final first-class appearance four years later for the Gentlemen of England against the Gentlemen of Kent and Sussex at Canterbury.[2] Playing as a bowler, Parker took 32 wickets in his five first-class matches, at an average of 6.70, with best figures of 5 for 26 against the Gentlemen of Kent and Sussex.[1][3] He took five wickets in an innings twice and ten wickets in a match once.[1] He died at Edinburgh in October 1892.
