List of Fremantle Football Club coaches

Chris Connolly, Fremantle's longest-serving coach.

Since becoming a member of the Australian Football League (AFL) in 1995, there have been five senior coaches of the Fremantle Football Club. To qualify, coaches must have coached the club in at least one senior AFL match. A senior AFL match is an Australian rules football match between two clubs that are, or were at the time of the match, members of the AFL. A senior AFL match is played under the laws of Australian football, and includes regular season matches, as well as finals series matches. It does not include pre-season competition matches, interstate matches or international rules football matches. The list is arranged in the order in which each coach first coached a game for Fremantle in a senior AFL match.
