Justin Westhoff (born 1 October 1986) is a footballer currently playing for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the AFL. He also played for the Central Districts in the SANFL. He is the older brother of Matthew Westhoff and Leigh Westhoff. Westhoff was selected by Port Adelaide in the 2006 draft using their fifth round pick, being the 71st pick overall.
Justin Westhoff was born in Eudunda, South Australia where he lived until the age of three. He then moved to Tanunda, South Australia. Justin's younger brother Matthew Westhoff and older brother Leigh Westhoff played for Central Districts in the SANFL league. Matthew played with the Port Adelaide Football Club alongside his brother Justin. He played just six games in his short career with Port and was delisted at the end of the 2011 season. His cousin, Nick Westhoff, was rookie listed by Richmond in 2010 but didn't play an AFL game.
When drafted into the Power, Westhoff's appointed player-mentor was skipper Warren Tredrea.
On 17 April Westhoff was controversially suspended for two games for high contact on North Adelaide captain Darryl Wintle during Central District's 7 goal defeat of the Roosters in Round 1 of the SANFL. The suspension effectively prevented him from playing for three weeks, as Central District had a bye during that period.
On 3 June Westhoff's consistent goal kicking dominance at local level saw him make his AFL debut for Port Adelaide against Hawthorn. In an eventful debut he performed strongly, booting three goals (including two from his first two kicks) to become the first Power player to register a trio of majors on debut. Westhoff was also reported for charging the Hawks' Clinton Young in the last quarter, however this was later dismissed by the match review panel, as they deemed the contact unintentional and unavoidable.
