Jordan Roughead (born 3 November 1990) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Western Bulldogs in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Selected with the 31st selection in the 2008 AFL Draft, after playing for the North Ballarat Rebels in the TAC Cup, Roughead plays as a ruckman but is capable of filling a key position up forward and in defence.
He is the cousin of Hawthorn's Jarryd Roughead.
Roughead grew up a Bulldogs supporter.
In Round 5, 2010, Roughead made his AFL debut against Adelaide at Etihad Stadium. He performed well, gathering 9 disposals (3 kicks and 6 handballs), taking 4 marks, making 3 tackles and also kicking a goal.
During the 2012 season, Bulldogs coach Brendan McCartney moved Roughead into defence, where he remained until mid-2015 when McCartney's successor Luke Beveridge moved him back into the ruck.
Roughead was announced as the vice captain for 2015, but relinquished the role at the end of the season, choosing to focus on his football.
Roughead played in the Bulldogs' drought-breaking Grand Final win, amassing 13 disposals and 17 hitouts from 75% game time.
