John George Shield (10 April 1915 – 24 October 1981) was an English footballer who played as a defender.

Shield was born in South Shields and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Durham University in 1936.[1] A leading amateur player, he was part of the Bishop Auckland side that won the 1935 FA Amateur Cup, and was said to be similar in style to Tom Bromilow.[2] He worked as a teacher outside of football.[2]

He played a single game for Liverpool F.C. in the 1936–37 season when he deputised for Jimmy McDougall in defence.[3]
