Justin Maxwell Sedgmen (born 17 February 1992) is an Australian motorcycle speedway rider. He is the son of former Australian rider Gavin Sedgmen and the grandson of Phil Sedgmen.
Born in Mildura, Victoria, Justin Sedgmen and his older brother Ryan (born December 1990) began their speedway careers at Mildura's Olympic Park Speedway on the 112 metres (122 yd) infield junior track.
Justin and Ryan teamed to win the 2005 and 2006 Australian Under-16 Pairs Championships, and Justin followed that up by winning again in 2007 with Dakota North (after his brother had turned 16 and was riding in the senior ranks).
Justin Sedgmen finished the 2007 Australian Under-16 Championship at the Gold Coast Speedway in Queensland in equal first place with 13 points with Dakota North, but ultimately finished 3rd in the Final behind North and future Under-21 World Champion Darcy Ward.
In 2009 both Justin and Ryan signed a contract with Speedway Ekstraliga team Unia Leszno, but they did not start in the league. Before a 2010 season, Sedgmen signed to Hungarian Speedway Miskolc. He also rode for Swindon Robins in 2010 and 2011.
In 2011, Justin Sedgmen won the Jack Young Solo Cup at the Gillman Speedway in Adelaide.
Also in 2011, Sedgmen was part of the Australian Under-21 Team that won the second semi-final of the Under-21 World Cup. Australia withdrew from the Final in Balakovo, Russia due to travel cost and visa problems, along with Sweden and Great Britain.
