Jonathan Giles (born 8 January 1988) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL). He made his AFL debut with Greater Western Sydney in round 1, 2012 against the Sydney Swans at ANZ Stadium. He was also previously listed with the Port Adelaide Football Club, but did not play a senior game for this club.
A ruckman, Giles was recruited in the 2005 AFL Draft, from Central District in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) at pick number 70, but never played a game for Port Adelaide in the AFL.
During the 2006 season, he played 19 games for Central District's reserves team, kicking four goals. Also in 2006, Giles played in the London exhibition match against Geelong. In a spiteful match, he kicked one goal.
Giles was delisted by Port on 16 October 2009. In December 2010, after winning the best and fairest award for Sturt in the SANFL, Giles was selected by the new Greater Western Sydney Giants in the 2011 Rookie Draft.
Giles played the 2011 season for Greater Western Sydney in the North East Australian Football League, as one of the senior players on an otherwise young squad. He played his first official AFL game against the Sydney Swans where he kicked one goal. In Round 8, 2014, Giles became the first Giants player to notch up 50 games for the club, the Giants lost to the West Coast Eagles by 111 points.
