John Sangster (17 November 1928–26 October 1995) was an Australian jazz composer, arranger, drummer, cornettist and Vibraphonist born in Melbourne, most well-known as a composer though also a gifted multi-instrumentalist. Sangster worked with virtually every big name in Australian jazz during his career, a list of musicians that includes Graeme Bell, Humphrey Lyttleton and Don Burrows, among others.

In 1969 Sangster began to work with rock musicians and he joined the expanded lineup of the Australian progressive rock group Tully, who provided the musical backing for the original Australian production of the rock musical "Hair".

In the 1970s Sangster released a series of popular "Lord of the Rings" inspired albums that started with "The Hobbit Suite" in 1973. Sangster also was the composer of a large number of scores for television documentaries, films, and radio slots "(including The Funky Phantom)". Sangster died in Brisbane, Australia on 26 October, 1995 at 66.
