John Cregan (born 21 May 1961) is a former Irish Fianna Fáil politician. He served as a Teachta Dála (TD) and Senator from 1998 to 2011.[1] He is from Dromcolliher, County Limerick.

On 23 June 1998, Cregan was elected to the 21st Seanad Éireann on the Labour Panel, at a by-election to fill the seat vacated by the Labour Party senator Seán Ryan, who had been elected to Dáil Éireann at a by-election.[1]

Cregan was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the 2002 general election for the Limerick West constituency and was re-elected at the 2007 general election.[2]

On 1 February 2011 Cregan announced that he would not be a candidate at the imminent general election following disagreement with the new leader of Fianna Fáil, Micheál Martin.[3]
