Jack Lorraine Skinner (11 August 1915 – 3 January 2002) was a football (soccer) player who represented New Zealand at international level.[1]

Skinner made two appearances in official internationals for the All Whites, scoring New Zealand's goal in a 1–7 loss to Australia on 4 July 1936, while his second match, losing 0–10 to Australia on 11 July 1936,[2][3] still stands as New Zealand's biggest loss in official matches, although New Zealand have been beaten by more in unofficial matches, notably England Amateurs in 1937 and Manchester United in 1967.[4]
