Jake Lloyd (born 20 September 1993) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Lloyd grew up in Horsham, Victoria and won four straight senior flags with his home club the Horsham Demons, the first of which came when he was a 16-year-old. Lloyd was good enough to play for Victoria Country at under-16s and under-18s level, and won a gold medal at the national championships. He later played for the North Ballarat Rebels in the TAC Cup. Lloyd was drafted by the Swans in the 2013 Rookie Draft. He secured a premiership medallion playing in the NEAFL for the club's reserves in 2013 and was named in the NEAFL team of the year.[1][2]

In April 2014, Lloyd was elevated from the Swans' rookie list and made his AFL debut against Fremantle.[2] On 18 August, he received the round 21 nomination for the AFL Rising Star Award.[3][4] On 27 September, he participated in the 2014 AFL Grand Final, a match the Swans lost 137–74 to Hawthorn. Two years later, he participated in the 2016 AFL Grand Final, a match the Swans lost 89–67 to the Western Bulldogs.
