Jude Bolton (born 15 March 1980) is an Australian rules football player with the Sydney Swans of the AFL, and is known as "Hey Jude" by some fans and portions of the media, especially 3AW commentators.

Jude attended St Bernard's College Essendon and played football for the school as well as the Calder Cannons Under 18s team, before being selected as the 8th pick in the 1998 National Draft. He played his first senior game for Sydney against Carlton in round 12 of the 1999 season and received a Rising Star Award nomination the following year. By 2001, he was a regular member of the team.

He is noted for his never ending determination to attack and go after the ball; Bolton often accumulates large numbers of tackles. In 2005, the season in which the Swans won their first premiership in 72 years using a tough man-on-man style of play, Bolton made 122 tackles, the 2nd highest for the club and 3rd overall in the AFL.

He represented Australia in the International Rules series in 2004.

He is unrelated to Swans teammate Craig Bolton.
