Simon Eastaugh (born 12 June 1973) is an Australian rules footballer who mainly played as a ruckman. He played for both the Essendon Football Club and the Fremantle Football Club in the AFL, as well as Norwood Football Club in the SANFL and both South Fremantle and East Fremantle in the WAFL. He is the current coach of the Perth Football Club in the WAFL.^[1]

Originally from Shepparton, Victoria, he was drafted from Norwood to Essendon as the 68th selection in the 1997 AFL Draft. He only played 17 games for the Bombers in 3 years before he was delisted at the end of the 2000 season, having not played a game in Essendon's premiership season.

Fremantle then selected him with the 4th selection in the 2001 Preseason Draft. In 2001, despite Fremantle having a winless start to the season, Eastaugh was unable to play an AFL game until after coach Damian Drum was replaced by Ben Allan in Round 11. Despite playing 11 of the last 12 games of the 2001 season, he only played a single game in 2002 before he retired from AFL football at the end of the season.^[2]

In addition to coaching Perth in the WAFL, he has also been a ruck and rehabilitation coach at Fremantle^[3] and in 2007 was an assistant coach for the WAFL state team that played a representative VFL side.^[4]
