John Carrell (January 25, 1947 – September 20, 1989), later known as John Aubrey, was an American ice dancer and ballet dancer. With partner Lorna Dyer, he was the 1967 U.S. national champion. They were the 1967 World silver medalists and 1965–66 World bronze medalists.
He was adopted by James and Helen (Baldwin) Carrell, and grew up in Seattle. His father was a professor of speech and hearing at the University of Washington, and his mother was a speech therapist for the Seattle public schools.
After retiring from competitive skating, Carrell graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in political science. He spent some time coaching, but decided to reinvent himself as a ballet dancer.
From 1973 to 1980, he was known as John Aubrey, and was a member of the National Ballet of Canada.
Carrell died in 1989, from complications resulting from AIDS.
