Graeme Austin (born 1 June 1952) is a formerAustralian rules footballer in theVictorian Football League (VFL). He played withFootscray, mostly as a midfielder. He was recruited fromOrbost, Victoria which was at the time part of Footscray's very productiveGippsland zone. His playing measurements were 178 cm and 68.5 kg.
Austin took five seasons with Footscray to reach 50 senior games, indicating that he was never consistently part of their best 20 players. In fact he spent a few seasons in Footscray's reserves before debuting in 1970. He was not a part of the Footscray's team that reached the elimination final in 1974.
Russell and Main describe Austin as "a handy rover".
