John Prine (10 Oktober 1946 – 7 April 2020) je bil ameriški country folk kantavtor. Bil je aktiven kot skladatelj, snemalec in je nastopal v živo od zgodnjih 1970-tih let do smrti. Bil je poznan po svojem pogosto humornem stilu izvajanja originalne glasbe, ki ima elemente protestne glasbe in socialnega komentarja.

Rojen in odrastel je v mestu Maywood, Illinois, kjer se je naučil igrati kitaro pri starosti 14. let. Udeleževal se je pouka v Čikaški

Born and raised in Maywood, Illinois, Prine learned to play the guitar at the age of 14. He attended classes at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music.[1] After serving in West Germany with the U.S. Army, he returned to Chicago in the late 1960s, where he worked as a mailman, writing and singing songs first as a hobby, and then becoming a club performer.
