Jack Silvagni (born 17 December 1997) is an Australian rules footballer who represents Carlton in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was drafted with the 53rd selection in the 2015 AFL draft under the father–son rule, when Carlton matched Essendon's bid for him.
He is a third-generation Carlton footballer; both his father, Stephen and paternal grandfather, Sergio, played for Carlton and are legends in the club's Hall of Fame. He is also a distant nephew of Carlton teammate Alex Silvagni.
Silvagni grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Balwyn North and attended Xavier College. He played junior football for both his school, the Greythorn Falcons in the Yarrra Junior Football League, the Oakleigh Chargers in the TAC Cup and Victoria Metro at the AFL Under 18 Championships. His mother is Australian television presenter and model Jo Silvagni, and he has two younger brothers, Ben and Tom.
After finishing his first season, Silvagni went on a trip to Italy with his family to trace his paternal heritage. It was during this trip that he was presented with the No. 1 guernsey on the Grand Canal in Venice, switching from the No. 2.
