John Hayes (born 6 August 1939) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL). [1]
A defender, Hayes came to Fitzroy from Warracknabeal. [2] Hayes captained Fitzroy for most of the 1966 VFL season, replacing Ralph Rogerson, who retired five rounds into the year. [3]

He then moved to Yarrawonga, a club which he would captain-coach. [4]
