John Part (born June 29, 1966 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian professional darts player, who is nicknamed Darth Maple. Part is a three-times World Champion, having triumphed in the BDO World Championship in 1994 and the PDC World Championship in 2003 and 2008. His 2006 Las Vegas Desert Classic title and a host of other tournament wins make him statistically North America's greatest darts player ever.

Part was given a dartboard by his parents as a Christmas present in 1987 which gave him the bug to take up the game. He became a professional darts player in 1991. He won several championships, principally in Canada from 1991 to 1995. But his greatest success in the BDO was his 1994 World championship win. He won the final by 6 sets to 0 against Bobby George. In 1997, he decided to leave the BDO to play in the PDC.

He entered the PDC in 1997, but didn't make an impact until 2001 when he reached his first World Championship final, where he was whitewashed by Phil Taylor 0-7 who comprehensively averaged 108 to Part's 92. He reached the final of the World Matchplay in 2002 and was again beaten by Taylor in a much closer final, by 16 legs to 18. He also lost to his fierce rival in the 2002 World Grand Prix.
