John Coleman "Johnny" Nee (born January 15, 1890 in Thayer, Missouri - died April 1957 in St. Petersburg, Florida) was a major league baseball scout and a minor league player-manager. Nee, a young minor league infielder of 22, was chosen to skipper the Terre Haute team in 1912 as a player-manager. He served as a player-manager at many of his minor league stops including his last post as the leader of the Virginia League Kinston Eagles (1925-1926). During that final managerial season, one of his young charges was future Hall of Fame member Rick Ferrell.
