John David Lundstram (born 18 February 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder.

Lundstram started his career in Everton's academy. He signed his first professional contract in June 2011 but never made a first-team appearance for Everton. He had loan spells at Doncaster Rovers, Yeovil Town, Leyton Orient, Blackpool and Scunthorpe United before leaving Everton to join Oxford United in 2015.

After racking up 104 appearances for Oxford, he joined Sheffield United in 2017. He helped the Blades win promotion and played for them in the Premier League for two seasons. He then signed for Rangers in July 2021. Lundstram has scored goals in each of England's top four divisions.

He has represented England internationally at under-17, under-18, under-19, and under-20 levels and has appeared in four official youth competitions for the Three Lions.

Described as a strong tackling midfielder, Lundstram worked his way into the England U17 squad during the 2010–11 campaign after impressing in the Nordic Tournament.

His first full season on the international stage saw him play a major part in the U17s' run to the semi-final of the European Championship in Serbia. UEFA described Lundstram as an "influential catalyst in launching attacking moves" and he was also named in the "Tournament select squad". Following the completion of the tournament, UEFA made comparisons to fellow Liverpool-born player Steven Gerrard and praised his "biting tackle" and a "fine range of passing to instigate attacks".

Lundstram was named in the England squad that reached the quarter-final of the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup under John Peacock. He played in a total of four games. England were eliminated from the competition by Germany having knocked Argentina out in the round of 16.

The 2011–12 season saw him play twice for Noel Blake's U18s, captaining the side to a win against Poland before he made another step-up to the U19s squad, again under Blake, as he helped England to qualify for the European Championship Finals in Estonia. The following month, Lundstram was called up to England U19 by Noel Blake once again. He scored the opening goal in a 2–1 victory over France in the final tournament. England reached the semi-final of the tournament and were eliminated from the competition by Greece. After the tournament, Lundstram captained the England U19 side for the first time, in a 3–0 win over Estonia U19. Lundstram scored again on 13 November 2012, in a 1–0 win over Finland U19.

On 28 May 2013, he was named in manager Peter Taylor's 20-man squad for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He made his debut on 16 June, in a 3–0 win in a warm-up game against Uruguay. This turned out to be his only appearance for the side, being an unused substitute for two more matches as England U20 were eliminated from the tournament.

Lundstram inherited his surname from his Norwegian great-grandfather.

Despite progressing in the Everton youth set-up, Lundstram supported Liverpool as a boy.
