Johannes Albertus Krige (6 June 1891 – September 1946) was a South African-born England rugby union international.

Born in Caledon, Cape Province, Krige was the son of a reverend and a younger brother of Springbok Japie Krige.[1]

Krige was capped for England while studying and playing rugby at Guy's Hospital in central London. He made his solitary appearance against Wales at Swansea in the 1920 Five Nations, forming a centre combination with Ernie Hammett, who was also on debut.[2] After obtaining his dentistry degree in 1921, Krige returned home to South Africa.[3]
