John Pellew (17 July 1882 – 17 October 1946) was an Australian cricketer. He played in twenty-one first-class matches for South Australia between 1903 and 1909.[1] He was once regarded as "one of South Australia's most brilliant batsmen." He was the brother of Arthur Pellew, and a cousin of Nip and Lance Pellew, who were all cricketers.[2]
On 17 October 1946, Pellew was killed when he was struck by a train at the Unley Park railway station. His body was taken by the train to Royal Adelaide Hospital.[2]
