Jon Hassall (born 14 August 1973) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and Hawthorn in the Australian Football League (AFL) during the 1990s.

A tagger, Hassall played at Collingwood mostly in the back pocket or midfield and received a 1994 AFL Rising Star nomination for his efforts against Geelong late in his debut season.{{cite book|last1=Holmesby|first1=Russell|last2=Main|first2=Jim|title=The Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers| publisher=BAS Publishing|year=2007|isbn=978-1-920910-78-5}} He played 23 games that year, including a qualifying final and had 353 disposals. Hassall, who was originally from Warrandyte, added a further 19 games in 1995. With Collingwood having a poor season in 1996 and Hassall managing just eight games, he was let go by the club and picked up by Hawthorn in the pre-season draft.

He spent three seasons with Hawthorn and ended the 1998 AFL season well with three Brownlow Medal votes for his performance against Fremantle in the final round.{{cite web|url=http://afltables.com/afl/stats/players/J/Jon_Hassall.html| title=Jon Hassall| publisher=AFL Tables}} Hassall was delisted a year later but kept playing football in the Essendon District Football League after a stint at the South Adelaide Football Club.

Hassall now trains thoroughbred racehorses with partner Kate Goodrich in Kilmore, Victoria.{{cite web|title=Halo a nocturnal|url=http://www.newspaperhouse.com.au/index.php/Racing-Archive/halo-a-nocturnal.html|publisher=Newspaper House|access-date=23 April 2012|date=17 November 2009}}{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
