Johannes Wilhelmus Wessels (14 May 1935 – 22 January 2006) was a South African international rugby union player.
Wessels was born in Van Stadensrus and educated at Grey College.
A hooker, Wessels represented Orange Free State and earned Springboks representative honours on their 1965 tour of Scotland and Ireland. The short tour included two Test matches, which Wessels both missed, instead wearing Springboks colours for fixtures against Combined Universities and Scottish Districts.
Wessels married national netball player Sussie Esterhuizen.
