John Blaikie (born 28 December 1973 in Hamilton, New Zealand) is a retired rugby union footballer.
Playing career
A hard-working, reliable lock, Blaikie attended Otago Boys' High School and quickly moved into the Otago provincial side. He made his debut for the Highlanders in 1997, and was a regular starter by 1998.
Through the Highlanders most successful period from 1998 to 2002, Blaikie was a fixture in the line-up, and was a member of the team that reached the 1999 Super 12 Final. In 1999 and 2000, he was a teammate of his brother Duncan, who was a loose forward for the squad.
