The 1944 VFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the Fitzroy Football Club and Richmond Football Club, held at the Junction Oval in Melbourne on 30 September 1944. It was the 48th annual Grand Final of the Victorian Football League, staged to determine the premiers for the 1944 VFL season. The match, attended by 43,000 spectators, was won by Fitzroy by a margin of 15 points, marking that club's first premiership since 1922, and its eighth (and final) premiership.
This was the last Grand Final to have two captain-coaches playing against each other.[citation needed]
