Rod Carter (born 29 October 1954) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Fitzroy and the Sydney Swans in the VFL. By the end of his career he was just seven games short of joining the 300 club.
A defender, Carter was used mostly at full-back and kicked just the one goal in his 16 seasons of football. That goal came in a game against Melbourne at the SCG in 1986. After spending his first six years with the now defunct Fitzroy during the late 1970s, Carter left the club and joined Port Melbourne of the VFA. He was picked up by South Melbourne (later Sydney) after half a season and would go on to play his best football there in the 1980s.
Currently, Carter teaches Physical Education at Sydney Technical High School. He is also the current head of the SRC. He has a wife Jenny as well as three kids, Angus, Nathan and Kaitlin.
