John Lawrence Bevan (10 May 1846 – 31 March 1918) was an Australian cricketer. He played one first-class match for South Australia in 1877/88.

Born in Swansea, Wales, Bevan played in South Australia's inaugural first-class match, against Tasmania at the newly opened Adelaide Oval in November 1877. Despite taking 14 wickets at an average of 4.21 in South Australia's innings victory over Tasmania, Bevan never played first-class cricket again. He did, however, play a number of non-first-class matches for South Australia between 1877 and 1882, before moving to Melbourne to take up a position with the Melbourne Cricket Club.
