Lachie Weller (born 23 February 1996) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Originally from Tasmania, Weller moved to Queensland at age 15 with his family, when his brother Maverick was recruited by the Gold Coast Football Club. Lachie then joined the Gold Coast's junior academy development squad, but did not qualify as a priority selection due to not fulfilling the length of residence requirements. A midfielder, he was drafted by Fremantle with their first selection, number 13 overall, in the 2014 AFL draft.
After playing well for Peel Thunder Football Club in the West Australian Football League, Weller made his debut in round 18 of the 2015 AFL season against Greater Western Sydney.
