John Fitzgerald (born 21 November 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Fitzgerald played under 19s football at Geelong, then instead of pursuing a VFL career played with St Joseph's in the Geelong Football League. A rover, Fitzgerald was lured back to the club in 1986 and appeared in the final five rounds of the season. He played a further three games early in the 1987 VFL season.
In 1989, Fitzgerald captained St Joseph's to a premiership and was named "best and ground" in the grand final.
He coached South Barwon from 2000 to 2003, which included a premiership in 2001. From 2007 to 2011 he was senior coach of Bell Park and steered them to a premiership in his final season.
