Sir John Henry Orr {{post-nominals|country=GBR|OBE|QPM}} (1918–1995), was a Scottish police officer and was the first Chief Constable of the Lothian and Borders Police. He was also a former rugby union player.

Born in 1918, John Orr was educated at George Heriot's School in Edinburgh and then became a clerk with the then Edinburgh City Police. After becoming a full police constable, he rose through the ranks and became Chief Constable of the former Lothian and Peebles Police. Following a merger of three police forces on 16 May 1975, John Orr became the first Chief Constable of the newly created Lothian and Borders Police, serving in the post until 1983.

He was a keen sportsman and twice played rugby for the national Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) team, going on to later serve as president of the SRU from 1975-1976.

He was awarded an OBE in 1972, the Queen's Police Medal (QPM) in 1977, and was made a Knight Bachelor in the 1979 Birthday Honours.
