Justin Stubbs (born 25 September 1969) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL).[1]

Stubbs, a Tasmanian Schoolboys All-Australian, played his early football for Devonport.[2] He went to St. Bernard's College after moving to Victoria and represented the state at Teal Cup level.[2] [3]

In the 12th round of the 1988 VFL season, Stubbs made his Essendon debut and kicked goals with his first two kicks in league football (against Fitzroy at Waverley Park).[4] A wingman, Stubbs played again the following round, a loss to Footscray.[4] In 1989 he took a break from league football but returned in 1990 for one final appearance, Essendon's win over Richmond in round 17.[4][5]
