John Kevin Cogan (born March 31, 1956) is an American former race car driver who drove in Formula One from 1980 to 1981. Driving a RAM Williams in the 1980 Canadian Grand Prix, he failed to qualify, suffering the same result driving for Tyrrell at the 1981 United States Grand Prix West. He then moved over to Indy cars in 1982 but his career was cut short by a series of accidents.

Cogan had one Indy car win to his credit (Phoenix in 1986), and finished second at the 1986 Indianapolis 500.
