John Antrobus (1806 — July 26, 1878) was an English cricketer who played for Cambridge University. He was born in Acton and died in Westminster.

Antrobus made two first-class appearances, separated by six years. His first match, in 1826, was for Cambridge University against Cambridge Town Club. Batting as an opener, Antrobus had an indifferent debut match, scoring six runs in the first innings as batting partner Charles Chapman scored 47 not out, carrying his bat throughout the order, as only one more batsman made a double-figures total.

Antrobus' second and final first-class fixture came in a match for Lord Strathavon's XI against Sir Vincent Cotton's XI, in which he scored a duck in the first innings and was absent hurt in the second.
