John Cartwright (born 9 August 1965) is an Australian rugby league football coach and former player. He is the current coach of the Gold Coast Titans in the National Rugby League.

Playing career

Cartwright was previously a premiership-winning player for the Penrith Panthers and an assistant coach at the Panthers and the Sydney Roosters. In 2000 he was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for his contribution to Australia's international standing in rugby league.

Coaching career

John Cartwright began coaching at Penrith as the reserve coach in 2001. After a period as assistant to Ricky Stuart at the Sydney Roosters, Cartwright was appointed coach of the Titans after their admission to the National Rugby League. He became involved in a feud with Melbourne Storm winger Steve Turner over contractual obligations. "We flew him up, showed him around for two or three days and he agreed to me that he would come here, we shook hands. He looked me in the eye. The deal was done. He even started looking for accommodation. I only coached him in a couple of games at Penrith and my reaction has been the same as it would be for any player in this situation. But to do what he has done . . . I'm not happy. I'm extremely disappointed, to say the least." [1]
