Kurt Heatherley (born 1 January 1995) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). A key defender originally from Tauranga in New Zealand, Hawthorn recruited him as a fourteen year old in 2011.

Heatherley relocated to Melbourne where he completed his secondary schooling at Caulfield Grammar. This gave him the chance to development his game through school, the TAC cup and the VFL. He was formally recruited by Hawthorn as an international recruit with their fifth selection and sixty-first overall in the 2014 rookie draft.[1][2]

He was promoted to the main list in 2015 after consistent performances playing for Box Hill in the VFL. He made his debut as a late replacement against Melbourne in round 20, 2016 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[3] Following the 2018 season, Heatherley was delisted.[4]
