John "Jack" Lucas (born 8 April 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the Sydney Swans in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Lucas, a New South Wales recruit originally from Ariah Park Mirrool, played league football with Sydney from 1982 to 1984, the club's first three seasons after relocation.[1][2] He played 19 VFL games for Sydney, 12 of them in the 1983 season.[2]

Following his VFL career, Lucas moved to Western Australia and joined Perth in the West Australian Football League, where he played 40 games.[3]

He also spent a season in the ACT Football League with Queanbeyan in 1989 and won a premiership.[4][5] Queanbeyan were coached by his uncle Brian Quade, brother of Ricky Quade.[6][7]

Back in Perth, Lucas coached junior footballers, including his son Kane Lucas, who would go on to be drafted by Carlton.[3]
