Graeme Linke (born 17 November 1951) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong and Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL) as well as Woodville in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).

Linke, a defender often used at fullback, came to Geelong from Hawkesdale.[1][2] He played 38 senior games for Geelong in four seasons, then went to Woodville for two years, before returning to Victoria and signing with Footscray.[1][3] His career at Footscray was short, with one game in 1977 and four in 1978.[3] He then played for Geelong Amateur in the Victorian Amateur Football Association and won the C Grade competition's best and fairest award in 1979.[4]
