John David Lundstram (born 18 February 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for League One club Oxford United, where he is the team captain. He has also represented England internationally at under-17, under-18, under-19, and under-20 levels and has appeared in three official youth competitions for the Three Lions.

Lundstram was developed as a football player by Everton from a very early age and signed a full-time scholarship in July 2010. In June 2011, Lundstram signed a two-year professional contract with Everton, followed by another two-year contract in June 2013. On 22 July 2014, he made his first appearance for Everton's first team in a friendly against Tranmere Rovers.

At the end of the 2014–15 season, Lundstram was released by the club. Lundstram later revealed that Everton offered him a six-month contract, but he rejected it in search of first-team football, saying that "it definitely makes a difference being permanent. You just feel much more part of things."

In February 2013, he joined Doncaster Rovers on a one-month loan. He made his full league début for the club in a 1–1 draw against Yeovil Town on 23 February 2013. There was concern over Lindstram's future at Doncaster Rovers after he sustained an ankle injury during a match against Portsmouth, which ended a 1–1 draw, but in the end Lundstram's loan spell was extended until the end of the season. Lundstram went on to make over a dozen appearances for Rovers, becoming a key part of the side that lifted the League One trophy at the end of the season.

On 28 November 2013, Lundstram joined Football League Championship side Yeovil Town on loan until January. He made his debut against Watford two days later, Yeovil winning 0–3. During the match, Lundstram assisted Joe Edwards for the third goal. On 3 December, he scored on his second appearance for the club in a 1–0 win against Blackpool. Lundstram then extended his loan until the end of the season. He scored his second goal for the club in a 3–2 loss against Derby County on 28 January 2014. On 10 March 2014, Lundstram was recalled by Everton having become a peripheral figure at Yeovil, having made 16 appearances and scoring twice.
