The father–son rule is a rule used for recruiting in the Australian Football League , which allows a club first recruiting access to the son of a long-serving member of that club.
The father–son rule has existed since the late 1940s. The following is a complete list of father–son draftees since 1986, when an entry draft was first established in the league.

Statistics correct to the end of the 2016 season
Prior to 1997, father–son selections were taken prior to the draft and hence did not have a selection number. From 1997 to 2006, selections were made in the third round. Since 2007, selections have been subject to a bidding system.
