John Keith Wolfe (born 25 March 1943) is an Australian former international rugby union player.

Raised on the Gold Coast, Wolfe picked up rugby union during his time as a pupil at Anglican Church Grammar School, before playing in the 1st XV with The Southport School, where he completed his last two years of school.

Wolfe, a fullback and winger, played his first-grade rugby for the University of Queensland. He toured New Zealand with Queensland in 1963 and subsequently won a place on the Wallabies squad for that year's tour of South Africa, selected as a winger. Featuring in seven uncapped tour matches, Wolfe had been set for a cap in the second Test against the Springboks at Newlands, after John Williams contracted bronchitis, but broke his right foot in a training accident and had to pull out. He was a member of the Queensland side which toured Fiji in 1965.
